Tee-Shirt Shrug, DIY

Need a little something for your shoulders when the nights get a little cooler?

 Make a shrug from the bottom half of a tee shirt.

 Tutorial 

Things you need.

1. Extra Large Hanes Tee- shirt
2. Scissors
3. Pins
4. Studs
5. Pliers * not shown
6. Sketch
7. Sewing Machine *not shown
8. Ruler* not shown
9. Chalk *not shown

 Fold your shirt in half

Measure 6 inches down from the arm pit.

Draw a straight line with chalk

 Cut on the line, now you have a tube.

Save the top half for another DIY:)

 Turn inside out pin with your straight pins and sew a straight line across the top to close the tube.

Use the  appropriate color thread.

 I used a lighter thread so you could see better.

 ~This is the only sewing you have to do.~

Cut up each side, almost to the top.  

Stop about one inch from the end.

Turn right side out and over lap the corners where you just cut.

 I placed 3 studs there to hold it together.

On the back seam I placed studs all the way across,

 spacing them about 3 inches apart.

 Just for something a little extra

Now you have an easy, inexpensive solution to cold shoulders.
