When inspirations hits, you have to take advantage of it, right??
My inspiration, the giant trees that surrounded us everywhere we went!
I was traveling with my husband when I decided I was sick of everything in my suitcase… After giving everything a second look, I realized I had a new outfit right in front of me! I hope you enjoy this transformation. You can use any type of tubetop that is very colorful. Please keep in mind that I was traveling and had very limited supplies with me, so feel free to take the idea and transform it into whatever works for you!
Materiales
- Tubetop or T-shirt (I think this particular project would be easier with a tubetop but feel free to be creative)
- Scissors
- Small Sewing Kit or Traveling Sewing Kit
- Table
So, the first thing I did was cut off the bottom hem of the shirt like so…
Then, this particular tubetop was reversable, I only wanted to keep the colorful side, so I cut off the inner cloth at the top seam and saved it for a future project. Now all I have left is the elasic band around the top and the outer layer of colorful fabric.
I folded the shirt so the two seams were in the middle and lined up. I cut up the sides using the fold as a guide to make sure my cuts were straight. Keep in mind that most shirts are wider at the bottom than they are at the top.
I went around the entire shirt cutting it in strips about 1cm wide more or less
Once all the strips were cut, I like to pull them downwards to stretch them out a little bit. They will naturally curl inside themselves.
This is how it looked at the end!!!
That night I went out with my NEW outfit! What do you think??
