Another T-shirt makeover
This time with a coral-colored T-shirt from Target. I'm amazed there was anything as colorful as coral in the plus-size section. On the clearance rack, no less.
I fiddled with the shirt at my mother's while she gave piano lessons to Budgie and Cheeky (yes, Cheeks is back on piano lessons after 8 or 9 months off during school--it was at her request too. She said since Honor Band and jazz band were over, could she have piano lessons back? Would Grandma allow that? I chuckled and said Grandma would be very happy to have her back).
I don't have before or during pictures of the shirt, just the end result. And this time, I got fancy with some leftover tulle and beads.
Bead detail
And on me.
I think it looks a little top heavy, and I don't like the pocket (which you can't really see in the photo), but it will do. I was going to cover the pocket with a rosette made out of the hem of the T-shirt I cut up, but...ack!...I left it at my mother's house. Mom, don't throw my scraps away! I left them on your basement sewing room table by accident. (yes we have to specify basement sewing room, because SHE HAS TWO SEWING ROOMS.)
I have a dark gray shirt, a lavender one, and a navy blue one still waiting redesign. I think I will forgo the ruffles and tulle. Maybe I'll do some flowers. I have some black and clear beads that I think would go well on the gray shirt.
