This is ALMOST a no-sew refashion….Almost! I bought this t-shirt during my Birthday trip to Frankenmuth, MI.

I decided this would make a great beach cover-up!

I cut off the collar. Cut a slit 1/4 the way down the back.

I twisted each side 4 times to make a sort of strap.

First twist.

4th twist. I put a few stitches in the twisted straps so they would hold.

DSCN1596 I trimmed off the bottom hem.

Then I made cuts all around the bottom of the shirt.

I began a macrame style pattern. I tied 2 strands together.

Then I crossed the strands and tied another knot. I repeated this pattern until I got to the end.

Happy Refashioning!!!

Hi there! Welcome to my little blog! My name is Marisa, phonetically that’s Marie-sa! My goal is to change the way you look at outdated clothes by making you think outside the stitch! I am a dental hygienist by trade but that leaves me longing to show my creative side and having something more fashionable to wear than scrubs! I have always been interested in fashion and for years I have been dabbling in creating my own clothes. Now is the time to seriously get into refashioning and encourage you to do the same! I hope this little blog of mine inspires you not to pass up those oversized unsightly pieces of clothing but to transform them into something beautiful! Happy Refashioning!
