I got this idea from pintrest. I find that I have more t-shirts than I know what to do with and I have a hard time parting with them! They are full of memories, but I rarely wear them. Some of them are men's shirts so the sleeves are too long and the neckline doesn't quite fit right. Here is my solution: make a racerback tank top out of an old t-shirt.
 |
| I forgot to take a before picture, but I think you get the idea! It was just a regular t-shirt that I started cutting up! You can see where I cut the sleeves off and around the neck. To create a more flattering, v-neck shirt, I cut a V into the front of the shirt. |
 |
| I started with a deep V cut into the back of the neckline, deeper than in the front. I cut the back a little farther in along the arm holes also so there wasn't quite as much material bunched up. Then I took a scrap of fabric from another part of the shirt and stretched it out as much as possible until it was long and skinny. Then I just wrapped it around the back where it would gather and tied it and snipped the ends. |

| My final product! I think it is so much more flattering than the old boxy t-shirt it was in its former life! |
