T Shirt Shrug

I love the idea of turning old clothes into something new.

I stumbled across this awesome tutorial for a T-shirt shrug.

Here's my version of it :)

All you need is a T shirt, some ribbon or string and a sewing machine.

I found this long sleeve shirt floating around the back of my closet just begging to be given new life.

Step 1:
Cut off the neckband and down the center of the shirt.
Be sure to only cut through the front layer when cutting down the center.

Step 2:
Turn shirt inside out. Fold edges over one inch and pin in place to form a casing. Then sew.

Step 3:
Turn shirt right side out. Attach a safety pin to the end of your ribbon and pull through the casing.

Step 4:
Pull ribbon tight and tie closed.

Now try on your new T shirt shrug and enjoy your work!
