From a tank to a t



I suppose it's time for me to start posting what I have been sewing this month. 
Here is what I made out of two extra black tank tops: 
I traced sleeves from another shirt and cut out sleeves from tank #1 and sewed them onto tank #2. I made sure to cut out the sleeves near the end of tank #1 so that the hem would be at the edge of the sleeves-Totally saved me from the monotony of sewing two straight lines, and it looks so profesh. 


I had extra fabric from tank #1 and wanted to do a flower like the one here using t-shirt material instead of felt. So I cut out a few circles folded them in half and half again then stitched them together on my shirt. So easy. Here are some pictures. I wish you could see the shoulders better where the sleeve and tank meet, but the pics I tried wit that looked terrible, nay, I looked terrible. Yes I am that vain.
