re-shirting

hello.  It is the end of a lazy weekend, and I am wearing a simple stay-at-home outfit of a favorite t-shirt and jeans.  However, I thought that I would finally do something with an old stretched-out shirt while hubby is watching football.

 

Here is the final look of the shrug. 

 

 

 

 

I cut off the bottom below the arms and sewed it up.

Then, fliped it right-side out and wear as a shrug.  I think that this works best if the v-neck is completely stretched out. 

 

But wait - I am even more excited about the disgarded "bottom".

This I sewed up a bit so that it got narrower at the top.  Now I can use it as an extra layer under my shorter t-shirt to cover up the top of my jeans.
