~shirt inspired from "I Spy DIY" book~

This book.....

....has soooo many fun ideas in it!

 

I made a shirt inspired by one of her ideas

in the book. Hers is made with a scarf and mine

was made with fabric I have had for years, not 

knowing what to make with it. I had about a 

yard of fabric and cut it out in the shape 

of two scarfs. It's basically two squares sewn

together, leaving an opening for the neck and arms.

I didn't even have to hem it.

Instead, I burned the edges.

An idea I wouldn't have thought of on my own

and it was sooooo much faster.

 

Here's my version:

 I know these self portraits are killing you.

They kill me too and I CANNOT for the life of me

get a decent shot ANYWHERE in my house.

Ugh.

 

Here's a pic of it on my dress form-it gives

you a better idea of what it looks like.

 I made the neckline extra wide so it falls

off my shoulder. The pink ribbons are just

for draping and marking on my form, they aren't

actually part of the shirt. 

I made it especially for a special summer concert

with some of my favorite gals:

 I loved the finished product and the concert

wasn't half bad either......come to think of it-

the concert ROCKED! 

I'm adding Grace Potter to the list of

celebrities I want to be friends with.
