Most of my design work is from scratch. I come up with an idea for a garment, I sketch it, and then I sew it. But ... I never say no to an exciting challenge. A friend asked that I 'update' her existing t-shirts - what a fun project! The t-shirts below got an overhaul and a new life.
Rock chick ...
A demure light pink tank top lost the sparkly rhinestones and got ripped up. I also colored it black but retained some of the original pink ... Definitely a new attitude in this one!

Strings attached ...
My friend does not really like sleeves so this number lost hem and got a brand new frame. I weaved a think ribbon (made out of another t-shirts scraps) around the bottom, the arm seams, and the neckline. And a little surprise never hurts! So, I cut up the back and linked the strings to imitate the look of a spine.

Two makes one ...
A brown print t-shirt (front) and a grey t-shirt (back) united into a brand new tank top. New neckline and no sleeves make this a perfect hot summer day garment!
