resize & renew a favorite t-shirt

So I am a beginner seamstress. I am about to start college majoring in Fashion Design and this is the first "real" project I've done without a lesson. Basically what I did is take my favorite band's t-shirt which was too small on me and insert elongated diamond panels of contrasting fabric into the sides, slit the neckline, and added a strip of the contrasting fabric around the sleeves. I would love to hear your thoughts on this! There are plenty more projects on the way! :) I will post a tutorial for this soon! The only reason I put 3.5 hours is because you need to rip out the bottom hem and both side seams.
