DIY Halter shirt: T-shirt renovation

Hey Guys. So I was going through some old clothes and I found a few shirts that I don't need, instead of throwing them away I decided to do a t shirt renovation. Its really simple to make and doesn't require a lot of sewing. If you can do a stitch you can make this shirt. 

Materials:
  • A fitted shirt 
  • Scissors 
  • Needle
  • Thread 
  • A clothespin
              
           We went from a pajama shirt to night out shirt             

                             

Directions 
  1. First cut off the sleeves of the shirt 

  2. Turn the shirt around and on the back cut a straight line from the arm pits of the shirt 

  3. Next fold the neck line 1 inch or 2 inches and pin it to make a pocket. Make sure you have enough room to slide something through the pocket
  4. Sew where the pins are, still leaving space to slide something through
  5. At the bottom of the shirt  cut of an inch and attach a clothes pin to the end 
  6. Feed the clothes pin and piece of shirt  through the pocket that you pinned and sewn                                                                      
  7. Pull at the edges of the shirt where you cut to make it curl               
  8. And BAM you got a new shirt 

You can wear this shirt to class, to lunch, on a date, or a night out. I paired this with a skirt but with some cut off denim shorts this would uber cute. To keep it casual add a cardigan or a kimono and some jeans and your ready to take on the world with your new DIY shirt. 

Thank you for reading today.
