I started out with two men's t-shirts, one black and one white.
I didn't want to be advertising lager so the first thing to go was the Carling logo
I cut half inch strips from the white t-shirt and pulled them taut so that they rolled up.
After sewing up the sides, and hemming the bottom, neck and sleeve edges, it now looks like this
Now I'll be honest and tell you that when I had the idea to do this, I intended to keep the hole at the front, but it turned out to be indecently low, which is why it's at the back. I wasn't going to do anything with the other side but as it turned out to be at the front, I did the lines of running stitch with the t-shirt thread to tie in with the back.

I Like It! Very Cute On You And A Great Idea To Boot!
This is so awesomely cool. I think I like it on the back better, but it is a very wonderful idea. I am glad you were willing to share how you did it.

I like the connect between the front and the back by using white running stitches. Very cool.
I think this is amazing, so original, thanks for the idea!
