When my son's baseball team won the District Championship, t-shirts were ordered to be worn for the next game. The night before that game, I picked up a dull gray t-shirt. I was bummed that instead of a cute ladies tee, I had a man's crewneck with an unclear reference to a random thing said by the team's coach. I was going to pass on wearing the same shirt as everyone else who ordered one, and just wear team colors like I usually do. However, instead I decided to "cute i fy" the ugly shirt. (Yes, I made up that word just now.) So, I grabbed the scissors, a ruler and a permanent marker. (Unfortunately, I didn't grab my camera to do step-by-step instructions. Here is a good video that explains what I did - Make a CuteTShirt Out of Ugly Tshirt ) Since the sleeves were still just looking plain ole U-G-L-Y, I took a sparkly silver ribbon and tied them up with a bow. I received a lot of compliments and now I am looking forward to making alterations to other tees that I haven't wanted to wear! What about you? Have you ever taken an article of clothing and altered it into something different?
I love the idea of "cute-i-fy-ing" an ugly t-shirt! Thanks for sharing at Pin It Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI have to think that's cooler, too! Great idea. Now I'm trying to think how I could change up mine. TALU ;)
ReplyDeleteYou did a fab job! Now you have a really cute tee - I am going to try the tie-ups right away. Thanks for sharing with Vis Monday!
ReplyDeleteI remember my days of bleacher sitting...it's hard to be comfortable and look cute at the same time. You nailed it! ~TALU~

Came off just fine! Clever girl ... I'm not a sports fan, and would resent being told how to dress by ANY jock, even one in my own family. Good job.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that shirt looks much better than the standard unisex tee with the big baggy sleeves!
ReplyDeleteThat came out looking nice! Great job! Always great to have you with us @ My Favorite Posts SHOW OFF Weekend Blog Party!
