Together with my mom I walked on the lively boulevard of Scheveningen. We ate icecream, wandered down Scheveningen Pier and felt the soft summer breeze. I love having nowhere to be and having so much free time. When I got home I had the urge to use this inspiring day for one of my little projects and make something very beach like.

<- I used a fitted shirt. If you use a shirt that's a bigger size then your usual you'll get some sort of dress, you'll have more pleats and I think it's more comfortable and pretty.
Grab a shirt. Cut off sleeves but leave as much usable fabric as you can
Front; Cut along the red line. Cut a straight line from sleeve to sleeve below the lowest part of the neckline ribbing.
Back; Cut a straight line from lowest part of cut off sleeves.
Pin a bias tape onto the part which is indicated blue in the picture (or hem it). I've made my own bias tape from scrap fabric and used this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fEv3VXPUEs
Tunnel piece; Cut a strip with the same measurements as the neck (orange on picture) but measuring 7cm wide. press it as if it were a bigger piece of bias tape. Sew it on, this is going to be the tunnel. Neck piece; From scrap fabric cut a strip measuring 160cm long and 7cm wide. fold it over (160cm x 3.5cm)and sew it. Turn inside out and press. Close both ends. Pull through tunnel and tie it.
