and again

happy memorial day!

i started my day off by re-doing another tank.
another tank from target.
this time on sale for only $2.50
and i got my extra fabric from a dress that my sister no longer wanted.

heres the tank before..
 
i then cut out a piece of fabric the width i wanted it.
i pinned the strip of fabric to the tank then started to sew.

i did a random design down the side of the tank, it turned out looking great.
once i finished with that part, it wasnt enough so i added little fabric squares.
how to make fabric squares:

1. cut out a square with rounded edges however big you'd like

2. fold the square, corner to corner

3. fold the piece in half, once again

4. then squish the folded fabric so that its flat and kind of looks like a flower

5. either hand sew or use a sewing machine in the middle of the squished fabric square so that it is in tact. 
i then hand sewed the little square flowers to the tank where i wanted them.

here is the ending result.

i love it.
the bright colors are perfect.

for some reason i've been obsessed with tank tops lately..
maybe its because i can find them really cheap.
oh well, i hope you guys enjoyed this one!
