These have to be some of my favorite summer tank tops. Let me show you what to do: The photo below shows me cutting the sleeve from the wrong side.Cut the sleeve open from the side that has the seam.If you were still wearing the shirt it would be the part under your armpit. (THANK YOU DIY'er for finding this mistake!)
{she made it} jersey weave sweatshirt
did you all have a good weekend? we pretty much got snowed in so during nap time I thought i'd scratch this little diy off my to-do list... This was the inspiration for this diy. i've had it pinned on pinterest for an eternity. so when I came across $3 sweatshirts at wal-mart the other day i felt like it was just meant to be. i resisted grabbing more than two (i am so bad when it comes to good deals) brought them home and gave them both a good wash and dry. the other one is white and i already have something in mind for it... like it?
Old Mens T-shirt Sewn Into Women's Dolman Tee
My husband and I are runners so we have a million t-shirts. I love transforming these boxy, oversized tees into something I will actually want to wear other then for a nightgown. I love this heather grey and wanted to make it into my favorite style tee. I love the comfortable, effortless style of the dolman tee... It took me about 15 minutes or so.

Recycling T-Shirts
So way way back, in June, I wrote this Studio Organization post, about starting the process of organizing my studio by cleaning out the closet full of junk. Well, it's September and...let's just say the closet is a work in progress. Some of the things that are taking up space in the closet are shirts that I never wear anymore. I realized I could repurpose them into something else! Here are some tutorials for recycling shirts:
Ref Guide for Double Weave.rtf

How to make a draped t-shirt
This cowl neck top is quite easy to make. It has only four seams and you can create the pattern yourself. The cowl neck comes from making the neckline of the shirt wider at the front than the back – this extra fabric hangs down creating the drapey neckline. The folds in the sleeves come from extra fabric as well, which is added by angling the shoulder seam upward. You will need: Measuring tape ⅔ yard stretchy fabric (I used a cotton/lycra jersey) Matching thread Sewing machine Chalk (or pencil and large paper to make a pattern) Pins (optional) The first step in making this top is to measure yourself.

Bun Warmer, Heinie Heater, Hip Cozy…whatever you call it, it works like a charm. This is a fast and easy way to repurpose an old sweater and stay warm this winter.
All About Needleweaving
Recently I have written lots about needleweaving, both as embroidry stitch and as proper weaving on improvised looms, and there are more postings to come. For the sake of clarity, I’m collecting them here rather than on the turorials page, which would probably get hopelessly crowded. Disclaimer: I’m entirely self-taught both about weaving and embroidery. I have never woven on a proper loom. What i write here are the results of reading a lot of websites and just figuring things out on my own. The big tutorial series: freestyle needleweaving on improvised looms
