How to Turn a T-shirt into a Shrug

I knew it was too good to be true when I bought this T-shirt at the Dollar Store. It shrunk to become too short the first time I washed it. Oh, but I loved the color, I look really good in this color. So I put it way until the right project came for me to use it. Then, I saw this Pintrest, a shrug made from a T-shirt, found here: http://wobisobi.blogspot.com/2011/03/project-re-style-12.html. I dug the t-shirt out of the fabric box and this is how I turned a T-shirt into a shrug. Let’s get started.
