No Sew DIY Tank Top

    Wooohoooo! It is summer time. The air is hot, the BBQ pit is lit (ok not really) and the river is waiting. Tomorrow I am headed out to float the river and I am so excited! BUT, I don't want to go out in my swimsuit because I feel like I am in that stage of pregnancy where I look fat and not pregnant; so I decided to make a cover up thing. 

   So first I got one of my Dad's T-shirts:

   Then I cut the sleeves  and the collar off (I actually cut the collar several times after I was done until I was satisfied with how it looked.)

   

   Then I cut the sleeves into to three strips each ( I forgot to take pictures.) Next you are going to use a bottle of some sort to help you braid three of the strips together. 

Then you take one of the braids and loop it through the sleeves like so:

Keith says HI!

   And tie a knot. 

Turn it around so the knot is on the inside and TADA:

Pretty right?

At this point I tried it on several times and cut the collar as I saw fit.  I also tied each strap with a bit of left over t-shirt to make the sleeves thinner. 

And last I cut the bottom rim of the t-shirt so that it would be flowy. 

Here is the front:

And the back:

  I can't wait to wear it! I will post pictures of this top in action later! Cheers!
