Intro: Transform a T-shirt Into a Cute Tank Top

(: this is what your tank will look like in the end (:

STEP 1: .001

First get all the materials you will be needing to make your tank
1. old tshirt ( tmnt are so boss)
2. scissors
3. pins
4. tape measure
5. thread
6. sewing needle
7. sewing machine (:
8. buttons (optional)

 + cut off collar and sleeves.
+ cut the sleeves right under the seam as well as the collar.
+ keep the sleeves and set them aside.

STEP 3: .003

+ flip shirt inside out  and stich back and forth at the top of the tank sleeve, so that it is strong and wont tear out.

STEP 4: .004

+ bow time (:
+ get those sleeves that you saved and cut a piece of fabric about 2and a half inches.

next
+  squeeze the fabric in the middle
+ pin and then sew down the middle back and forth a few times  (:

STEP 5: .005

+ cut a little piece of the fabric

STEP 6: .006

+ that little piece of fabric which you just cut will overlap part of the bow so you wont see the part that was sewn.
