Re-Fashioned Tops

Hello My Blogger Friends, 

I figured while I was still trying to figure out how to use the Video part of my camera, I would show you a couple of pictures of some tops that I kind of re-fashioned so I could wear them comfortably. 

First there is this awesome lime yellow (that's what I call it) small T top that I had purchase at a quick moment when I went to work and the top I was wearing just looked like crap...it was Saturday and I was delivery tires at the time...yes tires.  
I would do pretty much any job that entailed driving because I just loved to drive.
Anyway, I quickly drove to the closest mall which was a couple of minutes away and ran through the mall looking for any store where I could find a decent top....so low and behold I spotted this awesome T which I just loved the colour so I grabbed it...
should have picked up a small, but bought a medium instead...needless to say the medium was a little loose, and being a V-neck didn't help with all the bending I had to do while slugging tires to customers.:)

As soon as I got home I pulled out some lace pieces I have amongst my fabrics and found a piece that I thought looked nice with this T and quickly pinned it in place while I wore it, then took off the top and sewed it in place with the machine.....cut of any excess lace and there I had a cute T in one of my favourite colours ready to wear comfortably now with the lace.

Second... Wow, this top has got to be over twenty years old forsure!...I bought this top at a Rib Fest in London, Ontario while visiting a good friend and my oldest daughter was with me too because she was the only child at the time of this purchase.  We had a great time at the Rib Fest ... ya know, ate some yummy ribs, went on a few rides and then came upon a great selection of silk screened T-shirts which I couldn't resist.  I still remember my daughter bought one with a Lion and I bought this one of the Zebra.  It had a crew neck.

I do love large T-shirts to wear sometimes, but it always bugged me because they looked manly and I wanted mine to have a bit of fem to it...you know what I mean?  So, out came the scissors and lace.
Made a V-neck first, added the lace, and even put a small slit on each side of this top which I still wear today.  I would say the 50 bucks I paid for it way back then was worth it if I'm still getting use out of it. :) Adding a belt to any large T always looks nice too.

Then...there is my Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt that I gave a look of it's own... Cut the crew neck away and instead of just making a regular V-neck I decided to put it on an angle to change up the style a bit...I still added a piece of lace this time but also added two pieces of orange ric rac to match the orange on the T.

I put the orange ric rac from side to side which helps to keep the T from falling off the shoulder, but slides down just nicely enough.

So, I hope you like the three tops that I changed up a bit so that I felt more comfortable wearing and I thought they looked more like a female top than a unisex. 

When I get my video in the works, I'll add a new one to a tutorial so you get the idea a lot clearer.

Thanks for taking a look.

Until next time.
