2. Season's Greetings from the Streets red DIY



Here we go again with my next diy project.

Thesaurus:

Freddie - Freddie Krugar, I'll use this in context to me hacking clothes to pieces.

I ordered some cool retro tee''s from 80stees.com and if you spend over $50 (inevitable) they reward you with a free Sesame Street t, please see Mr hip modeling the shirt below:



As you can see this is a male t-shirt and well I ain't :p

Sooo what does one do with a free t-shirt? I didn't pay for it so let's shred this baby down to size. *puts on shades*

1. Turn the top inside first. Slim down the sleeves about 3inches so as to have space to wear a long sleeved top under (yes I like layer)

2. Let's make it figure hugging, I pinned with safety pins then I made a rought stitching at all the vital points, at the arm pit, next to the bust then at the waist and lastly at the stomach area, this should work out to an hour glass figure but ha we're all different shapes.

4. get big scissors and chop that tight neck piece off. (for this piece, I wanted the off the shoulder look) Then folded the rough edges in and stitched over.

Check out the shirt after I hacked it, I bet you thought I did a Freddie.


Now here's an artistic shot of the finished top:


Ok come on me or the oh so fake happy dude above? :)
