D.I.Y of the day #4911

So, just before i fell asleep the other day, i had the urge to cut up a tshirt, but i decided against acting out on my notions and slept instead. So today( more like yesterday) as i was waiting for yailee to get ready to go watch Real Steel, i decided to pull out a tshirt and commence the cutting, so i did...the lucky tshirt?

This one. My 'Love Me Butch' tshirt 

(Love Me Butch = Local band = google-able)

So step 1 :

I cut off the neck line. Then test- cut off one sleeve. So it looked like this :

Satisfied, moved on to step 2 :

Off with both sleeves. left over sleeves seen there

Step 3 :

I made a boo boo when i cut off the sleeves, so my step 3 consisted of sewing in the sides around the armholes to make it fit and not stick out and expose the insides (shyla!) and basically when not worn, looks as above.

Then with the leftover sleeve, Step 4 :

I cut one wide strip, enough to sew two short tubes. I forgot to take pictures, so it looks like this pic i took off the interwebs. Imagine them WAYYY shorter,messier, and black.

Step 5 was to sew each tube into a loop at the top of each strap, but not sewn down, so you can still move it along the strap itself.

Can't see it in the pic, but its function will be evident in the pictures to come. Anyway, somewhere along the way i decided to cut a small slit down the front to make a little ' v' if i wanted.  

With that, TADAAA! done! 

Doesn't look like much i know.oh, well.

Below are the modeled pics, more to show the variations of styles that can be done by moving the loops

This is just it....without messing with anything

Le DESIGNS

Design 1 : Loopies way up the top, flaps left as it is. 

I will call this the default design.

Design 2 : Loopies pulled down to create thinner straps and flaps tucked in for the sweetheart/sorta v-neck neckline

Design 3 : Loopies pulled down and flaps left as it is for a square neckline with a slight slit.

Design 4 : Loopies all the way up top and flaps tucked in = Regular V neck top

So.that's that.

As science would have it, having the loopies anywhere along the strap gives it a different look. I have no idea what stitches i used, just whatever i learnt back in high school, in KH ( or home econs?)

Not planning to win any awards with my stitches, no fear there.

i blame Old Town's teh tarik.the caffeine kicked in to my body a little too late.was so twitchy i couldn't sleep.
