I was browsing blogs last week and ran across this fun tutorial on Trashn2Tees. She took a tee shirt and turned it into a fun spring shrug with a lettuce edge.
I just so happened to be going through my clothes later that week and nabbed a couple tees of my own for this fun little project. It turned out pretty good too. I added some lettuce edged strips to one side for a little pop & ruffle.
I opted for a shorter sleeve...same edging.
The biggest bump was the back neckline. The tee was too big to begin with and the new line behind and around the shoulders is a tad too wide to stay on well. Although a different top underneath may be all the difference it needs for a fix.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! I think it turned out great- and I love the added design. Thanks for sharing TrashN2Tees! I hope that by rocking recycled threads we can encourage and inspire others to consume less and recycle more!
How cool! I love how the ruffled edges add such a fun touch! Who knew this started life as a t-shirt!
How cute! What a fun spring project:)
that really turned out good! I wish I knew how to sew, but then... I don't have the time! {:-D
Cute!! I just bought a black shrug like that today, but it doesn't have any neat detail work like yours does on the front.
