T-SHIRT REFASHION: From tee to tank

Hello! I'm pretty excited to contribute to Refashion Co-op ever since discovering the site to help me with some refashion projects. Just a little bit about myself before my first post ... my name is Jennifer. I have two adorable cats, Riley and Clara, and an even more adorable husband, Charlie. I'm very much a beginning sewer who likes pretty things and hates to iron every nook and cranny of a project. I'm impatient but willing to try something new.

Did you catch that I'm a beginner sewer? And that I'm impatient? And I don't like using patterns? Just checking ...

Once upon a time, I had a ton of T-shirts but sentiment stopped me from donating them. So, I found a very simple tutorial on how to turn a tee into a nice tank.

One of my mottos in life: If I can do it, you can do it!

I'm always open to free advice, tips and pointers at my blog.

Until next time ... jennifer elliott
