using old T-shirt to make NEW


step one: using natural dyes i dyed a white 100percent cotton T-shirt, last summer 2009, and as i was looking in my wardrobe i noticed that its still there so decided to work on few little details and to make more fashionable.


The edge of the T-shirt was all overlooked, so to creat casual and cnfortible style i desided to undo the edge around the botton, and sleeves.










The other thing i decided to work on the shoulders to to create more fashion statement, by using shoulder pads, as well not too big, right size and very proportional, to look stylish and different to an ordinary T-shirt.
plasing shoulder pad on top of the shoulder and folding the sleeve on top.





After folding the sleeve on top off the shoulder pad i pinned and sowed around to secure in place.



























as soon i secured the pad and liked that, i looked for a some beeds and something that would look nice as a decoration to work on top of the shoulder. Had a range of the different staff, so decided to combine few different sequence stiles together.
Pearls and black flat sequences, sowing them in line around the shoulder pad twice, sawing in with a silk, gold thread.
