Description

I had some chiffon flowers and a t-shirt which I hardly ever wore, so I created this lovely top.

Instructions

  1. Small tight top 1314373793

    Grab the T-shirt and cut off the hem at the bottom! I chose to cut the hem off the neck as well to create a more laid back look and to open up the neck a little more. If you want to cut the neck it's up to you! Then cut open both sides of the shirt along the seams (if there is no seams just simply eye ball it) from the bottom of the shirt to the arm pit. DO NOT CUT THE SLEEVE!

  2. Small dscn2552 1314373868

    Take the second shirt (if you want to hide the alterations you made, make sure the second shirt is the same color as the first, although it could be pretty cool if you did a second color!). On the shirt mark out a long triangle. The triangle should be an inch or two longer then the sides you cut open on the first shirt.

    Place each triangle inside the openings on either side and stitch them up. The triangles will help the shirt flare out at the side.

    Grab your flowers and arrange them on the sleeve in a formation that is appealing to you. Pin them down and stitch them on!
