Cross Back Tank Refashion

Steps (6 steps, 40 minutes)

1. 1

   Step one in every refashion: the original garment.

   I bought this tank at my favourite thrift store with the original intention of doing nothing to it. I get so excited about details and prints that I own very few basics. It turns out I can`t really handle basic.

2. 2

   I folded the back and cut out a keyhole for the criss-crossing.

3. 3

   I pinned it to an old cereal box to keep it stable.

4. 4

   This one is so hard to explain that even the crochet "pattern" I originally found just says follow the picture...
   I used a needle and a thin yarn and knotted the yarn every time I looped around. I went back over each strand twice to double up the yarn and left 2 cm between each strand to define them.

5. 5

   I didn't like seeing the knotty yarn all around the keyhole so I tied the yarn back and sewed lace around criss-crossing to frame it.

6. 6

   And voila!

   I promise it looks harder than it is!
