I, like all other American women, have dozens of sloppy t-shirts sitting in my drawer. I rarely wear them. But I can't seem to get rid of them. Plus, I'm adding to them all the time every time I pick up a race event tee. In fact, just today I picked up a t-shirt for a 5K I'm running tomorrow.
(Here's what I marked on Pinterest.)
See this race shirt? It's kinda cute, but it's big and sloppy. I could wear it. But I'd look dumpy.
But thanks to the tutorial I found on Pinterest, in about 30 minutes (it's a quick craft) my big dumpy shirt was a super cute tank top.
I might even wear it to run in tomorrow. I have a pile of shirts I could do this to. Best part- it doesn't even require any materials (other than thread.)
It's recycling, it's easy, and it's cute. Here's the tutorial if you want to give it a try.

That's a great option....my problem would be having the appropriate...um....undergarment. My solution for extraneous tshirts is to make quilts. I actually have 3 different sets of shirts ready to make into quilts - once I find the time to shop for fabric and sew!
you know, this is such a casual look that I don't think visible bra straps would be too weird. I could even see wearing a cami or tank under this tank. I happen to have had on a strapless bra already when I tried the tank on and that worked, too. But, having said all that, QUILTS are also a fabulous and beautiful option!! I'd like to see your finished products, Jenni!
Very cute! Great job, Becky! I don't have as many tshirts laying around as I used to, but I might have to find one to try this!
