finally, another re-do!

its been a few weeks since i've posted a re-do.
i need to think of a new, creative way to present my things..
hmm. 
i will think.
but in the mean time, i will show you guys what i did today.

here's the before & after


i started off with a black tank.
$3.00 from genX. 

i took some lace from my previous projects and did a simple ruffle.

pin the lace to the shirt. make sure to round it so that you can get that rounded-ness that you're looking for.

now just follow the first rounded lace until you get it the size you want.
after each layer of pinning, sew.
once you are finished, it should look somewhat like this

then i just took a button that was laying around my house and sewed it on.

wah lah!
done.

now, this is not my favorite re-do.
i know i shouldn't pick out the faults but i'm going to anyways.

things i would've done differently:
-i would've dyed the lace a tanish brown color, to make it look more vintage.
&
-i would've made it more round, instead of lop-sided.
(if that even makes sense)

if you are going to make this tee, try it on before you pin your first piece of lace on.
mark where you want it, then from there mark how rounded you want it to be.

oh well, you live and you learn. 
i hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
