It all started when I got this awesome shirt at the thrift store.
It was cheap ($2) I loved the colors and was in great condition. But I'm not the biggest fan of tube tops. I am always super paranoid they are gonna fall down. But I couldn't pass this shirt up. I loved the colors and there were no stains on it. So I took it home thinking I could add straps to it or maybe take out the smocking and make it into something I would wear.
It ended up being easier than I thought.
I remembered I had some ribbon that matched. and after some messing around I braided a fairly long strap. I decided to sew it in the front center. I used the same color thread as the stitching in the smocking so you cant even see where I sewed it on. I added a bead to the straps so I could either use it as a cinch (kind like a draw string) and left the strap fairly long so could have the option to tie it.
Pardon the messy background. It was a crazy week.
I was quite happy with it and wore a it on a date with my hubby to Friends too, a local greek restaurant which is my favorite. Paired with my basic white cropped sweater I can even wear it to church!
I love the colors and the length :)
