~t-shirt transformation~

 My friend's son has really cool taste in 

t-shirts. He likes them rock-n-roll style.

On Sunday I was lucky enough to intercept 4

of these shirts that he had discarded into the 

"donate" bag because they no longer fit him.

SCORE!

These are the exact shirts I love to transform.

I've already re-vamped two of them....

Here's the first one:

One thing I love about re-vamping t-shirts is 

that they are so easy and they don't have to

be perfect to be cute and wearable. 

I mean....it's just a t-shirt. 

 The first thing I do when I re-vamp a shirt is 

cut off the crew neck collar.

HATE THEM.

For a person who is well endowed in the boob

department and very short (which I am both)

-crew necks ARE NOT flattering.

In fact, in my humble opinion, crew necks

are really not flattering on most people.

After cutting the neckline much bigger, I needed

to do something to bring it in so I made this little

tuck in the center. I then cut the sleeves off a little

and  did pull thru slits all the way up both sleeves.

I still needed it to fit tighter around the neckline

so I went ahead and did pull thru slits across

the top back of the shirt.  

Not perfect.....not any of it.....

but it's cute anyway and has more personality

than just a plain 'ol t-shirt. 

And here's the back story to this concert shirt.

TRAPT.....

A spur of the moment concert that Jolie

and I went to. I had just had my daughter

about 3 weeks prior and I was needing

to get out of the house. The concert was

at a small venue downtown.

At some point during the 

concert the place in which we were standing

had turned into a mosh-pit and we were 

almost dead center of it. Jolie puts her arms

out and screams as she's dragging me out 

of it, "Precious cargo! Full momma boobs

right here folks! Make a path!" 

Obviously-I had VERY 

full boobs because I had a newborn baby

at home and they were extremely tender AND FULL 

at that point in the night. 

Jolie wanted to get her little guy a

shirt from the concert and this was the shirt

she got him. We ended up meeting 

the band after the show......

Two words.

Douche. Bags.

At least the shirt is cute.
