An Old T-shirt's New Life!

Getting rid of tired old t-shirts?? Well, you can give them a new life as AMAZING new tops and flowers!!

The scarf "straps" can be switched out. The small flower is so cute too!

Or if you have little girls around, they could be dresses for them!

 All you need to do is cut around the sleeves, leaving about 1/2 inch to fold back in the seam. Then fold the tops and sew in place in about an inch fold. 
Then just thread anything through...a scarf, like shown here, or a ribbon would be great.
And PRESTO!!! You have a fantastic new top!!

 

After cutting around the leaves and folding the top, thread the "scarf" through with a safety pin attached to one end.
 Thank adjust to fit evenly across wearer's shoulders and tie a bow.
 In the event you decide to use the SCRAPS to make a flower, just glue pin backing with hot glue or needle & thread, and secure to top.

Enjoy changing the "straps" to match any bottom or handbag you have!
