I never wore this t-shirt cause it was a bit big, so I decided to turn it into something far more awesome! :)
Sorry for any awful block-y, line-y pics... my photo uploading never works quite right!

  • Step 1

    Get a t-shirt, preferrably one a bit too big.

  • Step 2

    Cut it down the centre, at the front. Make sure its straight and actually in the middle!

  • Step 3

    Fold over a hem and neatly sew it down, I used back-stitch. Only go up to about half-way...

    Step 4

    ... and for the other half, fold the hem at an angle like this <-, then carry on sewing the hem up, so you have a v-neck sort of thing

    Step 5

    sew a couple of pieces of ribbon onto the front, at the point where the v-neck begins...

    Tie them up and then thats it!!

    This is the only pic I have of the finished cardi, and it does look a bit odd-shaped on the hanger, but much better when you wear it!

  • Step 6

    Any questions? Ask! :D
