I saw this picture on pinterest and knew I wanted to try it.
I have so many clothes here in Grenada that I'm absolutely sick of. I've worn the same things for 2 years now. boring.
I clicked the link over to Crafter Hours. (cute name eh?)
who quickly said this wasn't her idea, rather she got it from http://upcyclededucation.blogspot.com/
I went into the bedroom, grabbed the first tee shirt I saw, and a pair of scissors.
I didn't take a before picture of me wearing the shirt because I was too excited about the end result to even think about blogging about it.
There is a funny story behind this tee shirt. I bought it at Gabriel Brothers for $1 in the men's section (4 years ago) and liked it so much I bought one for my husband (then boyfriend) and promised I'd never wear it on the same day as him. haha. although we have both played tricks on each other by putting it on after we already know the other is wearing it. and when he saw me cutting it up this morning he was sad, even if he likes to pretend that he hates having the same shirt as me. but whatever, I totally girl-ified it!
I only varied slightly from the original tutorial and I would recommend using a tee shirt that is on the bigger side, not a form fitting one, I almost made this one too tight.

| First cut the sleeves off and then cut straight across the top under the collar. Then (no picture) fold the top down about 1 inch and do a straight stitch across leaving space to feed through a strap, I hand sewed it but if would be super quick with a machine. |
 |
| For the strap I used the shirt's original collar, cutting it once to break the circle and make it one long strip. I then fed it through with a kitchen skewer, or you could use a pencil. |
 |
| This is what it looked like once it was fed through the front of the shirt. Repeat with the back and re-sew the collar together and tuck it into the back seem to hide the stitches. |
 |
| love the new neckline! |

I already have 5 other tee shirt lined up to get a similar treatment!
With one of my bigger shirts (since I'll have more fabric) I'm going to make braided straps. fancy shmancy.
This is the perfect re-style to do in Grenada because it is so hot it is uncomfortable to wear shirts with sleeves, and if your shirt is stained... you just cut off the arm pits! I only wish I had thought of this sooner.
thanks pinterest!

Too cute for words. Definitely trying it this week!
Wow, that's pretty cool and totally changed the shirt for the better. Awesome job for your first try!
Totally need to save this idea.!! I am going to be doing it!! THANK YOU!!
Question when u cut the arm pits is there any sewing the armpits or is it just the neck line??
I saw this in Pintrest too and made it with different colored, braided straps! Too cute of an idea for too big of thrift store shirts!! Great job explaining the steps and good pictures too.
Happy blogging.

Steve3o: I beg to differ; if Doomsday killed Superman, and Doomsday is supposed to
possess Hulk level strength, why do you feel Superman would
fight any differently towards the Hulk? The Hulk created Superman bleed inside the DC/Marvel crossover mag, and it had been a really quick battle, 3 pages, by the way DC's writers had Superman win that quick battle go figure, I digress. Also inside the crossover mag Superman hit the Hulk with the full force of his heat vision and Superman mentioned. "I doubt even you can withstand it completely." The Hulk took it without even a scratch, and yes all you might have to do is get the DC versus Marvel crossover mag. So I would feel his freeze breath would not be considered a factoe either. If Superman was going to beat him by employing his superspeed, he didn't
use that technique towards Doomsday, so it really is fairly likely he won't use against the Hulk. We are talking about DC and Marvels strongest heroes, so to compare them do this, what exactly is Supermans greatest feat of strength? The HUlks is he literally held up half on the Earth for an extended period of time, so you tell me who's stronger.
1 thing about the Hulk, he has and never has used an unfaid advantage to beat an opponet,
so he could care less about magic or kryptonite. Superspeed will not operate against the Hulk simply
simply because his shockwave with render it useless.
Bring the facts Steve!
