T-shirt to cami top

Earlier in the year I started to refashion a pink t-shirt I had. Because it was high necked, I had chopped it a bit around the neck at one point already, but I don't wear it much. So I decided to make a cami type t-shirt from it.

It has been sitting here waiting to be sewn, so I finally got to it this month.

I used an existing cami t-shirt to guide the shaping.

After cutting, I made sure the armscyes were lined up.

Then cut around them both at once with the rotary cutter.

I wanted it a bit higher. So, I used the hem I had cut to make a feature on the neckline.

I used strips cut from the scraps to stitch and turn to make the straps. That wasn't as easy as it sounds, but worth the effort.

I like the cotton cami under other t-shirts or open blouses in the summer. They are nicer than the ones with lycra in them. I will probably go ahead now and refashion a few other t-shirts I don't wear.
