Step 1: I never wore this shirt. It's darling; I totally love it, but I never wore it because it was too big. I'm a pretty practical person, so I made it into something I would use. I decided to make a necklace out of the flowery/ lacy part.
BEFORE:
The culprit.
Closeup.
Closeup x 2.
DURING:
I was trying to figure out how I was going to make it a necklace and tie the two ends together... I simply cut the hem of the shirt off, cut it in two pieces, hemmed the edges, and sewed those onto the lace part. Voila. A necklace. I may or may not have been kind of freaking out at this point wondering if what I was seeing in my head was really going to pan out.
It did...
AFTER:
[I feel only slightly cheesy for using myself as a model... I'm not use to that yet.]
It adds a little bit of feminine fun to an outfit, doesn't it?
[Sorry for the awkward close up shot of my chest. Yes, awkward.]
Yay! Kind of fun! Go find something you don't use, and turn it into something you can use!
