T-Vest , Re-Styled

I Re-Styled my T shirt-vest.  
What? Me, Re-Style something ~ 
Scandalous! 
Original T-shirt to Vest tutorial 
HERE
I  did a different back, reworked the front a little, and added a little color. 
I think it makes it look so different.
What do you guys think? 
I would love your input! 



Changing it was easy.
This is how!

Tutorial


You need This
and these

Rubber-bands
I found mine on some yummy broccoli that I  had bought.


Now~ I have never tie dyed  before, I know that sounds crazy, but it is true, so I was truly excited about this.
And when I unwrapped the rubber bands... 
I was so thrilled to see how it worked.

Once the garment soaked  in the dye for ten minutes, took it out, rinsed it really well, and washed it with a little detergent, then I hung it outside to dry.
and that was it.


Have a wonderful Saturday!!

    I've been trying to figure out what you used to tie this dyed one. Was it seam-strips from the cut portion of the t-shirt that you also dyed? Or was it something else, like cord?

    Hoping to find x-large t-shirts here in Uruguay!

    Can you make the back differently to change style? Can it be left plain?

    I love the color but found myself wanting the color to continue higher up the vest. You are so creative! Thank you for sharing your ideas.

    Love your changes you made to these vests! I am going to try to make my own now! Silly question though, can you explain to me how you tied that cord/string on the back? I love that idea but can't figure out how you did it :)
