How To Make Friends and Influence People…

Just a quick experiment on an Easter Sunday afternoon…

While Paul was playing Star Wars Lego on the X-Box, I chopped up his old Terrorvision t-shirt and turned it into this…

Before and After:

More Afters:

(the back print // off-the-shoulder // print on the sleeves)

It’s based on the raglan tunic dresses that I made on Wednesday and Thursday. I wanted to see whether I could make the pattern work as a t-shirt with an elasticated neck, and the answer appears to be yes!

This will only really work with generously-sized long-sleeved t-shirts though, otherwise there won’t be enough fabric. Therefore my next plan is to translate the raglan sleeve into a fitted style, which I can make up from smaller t-shirts.

I have loads of t-shirts waiting to be chopped up, so I’m hoping to make quite a few of these tops to take to the Art Market next weekend.
