I used the Renfrew top pattern last week to make two tops; One was a traditional top made of a stripped knit. The other was an upcycle from an old college tee.
Now. I have made TWO more. Both from old t-shirts. See:
Yes. I realize I need to iron my seams around the top of the shoulders. I hate ironing. |
I used a shirt from church to see if I could keep the original neckline. And...I can! Yay! Made it so easy to put it together. Never mind the bulk around the tummy. I had tucked the extra length under because I was deciding whether I needed it shorter. Lesson: Do alterations before you decide to post to the world. (Also, I am too lazy...so the shortening will probably never happen.)
My husband asked, "Why did you cut off your head?" Answer: I didn't want to show my face. I mean do you smile, look at your feet, or point at an invisible something? Awkward... |
I had to use another shirt for the red facing because I didn't have enough green, and I wanted the whole word to show. It would have been really sad to sport, "Nexico" or "Exico".
I will also admit to having a shirt from the thift store in the wash that will soon be my next victim. Plus, I have decided that from now on when ordering shirts from school, I will order two sizes up so I can redo them. After all...I want to be cute.
I forgot my shirt today, but will bring next time? Like the red on the Mexico shirt. It gives it a punch of color and yes your brother has no one to blame, but himself. Also could you buy tshirts fripom micheals or hobby lobby too? They seemed to be like $4 or $5 dollars and with a coupon even cheaper??
