Description

Here's a great halter to wear in the summer as a shirt, cover-up to the beach, or anywhere you can imagine! The straps give you the option to make it a halter, tank, or racerback. I love that about this project!

Instructions

  1. Small img 5831 1247794304

    Start with your over-sized Tee.

  2. Small img 5832 1247795099

    Lay your fitted shirt (or tank) inside the tee as high up as it goes. You're only need measurements for the bodice of the tee, so the neckline can go off the edge.

  3. Small img 5837 1247795358

    Now cut along the shape of your fitted tee's bodice.

  4. Small img 5839 1247795335

    (Upside down pic) Now cut a sort of triangle whose tip goes in the center of the tee. make one side go off the edge. Wow, I'm bad at explaining that. Just look at the picture.

  5. Small img 5844 1247795572

    Now, all with right sides together, you sew. Sew up the edges and sew the top on. The top's two side points should overlap in the front. The rectangle part between the two triangles should go in the back.

    (Upside down pic) Here are the sides sewed up and the top part is going off the bottom edge.

  7. Small img 5849 1247795639

    Now cut two strips from your fabric, perpendicular to the grain.

  8. Small img 5853 1247795893

    Pull the two strips lengthwise and they should roll up.

  9. Small img 5854 1247795938

    Sew these two strips any which way to the tops of the triangles. (You could also attach the other ends of the straps to the back of the shirt to make a tank top, or criss-cross them to make a racerback. I chose a halter, as it requires the least work!)

    And you're done!!!
