Sheer Bow-back Upcycled Tee

Love this one.I know, so slouchy in the side pic. But, love love love this shirt.
Inspiration: Red Valentino Bow-Back Cotton Jersey tee.
So yeah.














2.) Using the sliced edge, line it up
with the corner of a delicate fabric.
Making sure the edges are both the same
size as the cuts, cut diagonal across. 


1.) Cut the back of a shirt up to
just about above where your bra-
strap would start.



3.) At the bottom of the same delicate fabric,
cut a strip about 4" wide. The strip should be at least 1.5'. 
4.) Using a sewing machine, sew the triangle
into the cut. Hem the bottom of the triangle
BEFORE you sew it onto the shirt. Make sure
the seam is on the inside. 
6.) Tie a bow! I found it looks super floppy
unless you secure the bow loops. I hand-
sewed in the middle and top of where I wanted
each loop to rest one stitch that I went over 5 times. 
5.) Folding the center of the strip so it
is about 1/2 an inch thick, sew it at the
top of the sewn in triangle so it rests almost
exactly where tour bra strap would be.
