Another Summer T-Shirt Vest



Ok, So if you could not tell, I love bows and apparently vests. So here is another super simple and cute T-Shirt Vest!




Materials:

* T-Shirt
* Extra fabric from another T-Shirt 
* Needle and thread or sewing machine
* Clothes snap
* Velcro (optional)
* Scissors

Directions:

1. Lay out your t-shirt on your work space.
2. Cut the sleeves off.
3. Lay out your extra fabric and cut out a sleeve using the sleeve you just cut off as your template.
4. Sew on your new cut out sleeve onto the shoulder part of your shirt.
5. Lay out the t-shirt once again.
6. Cut down the middle of the shirt to create a vest.
7. Using your old sleeves you will create a bow. 
8. Fold your sleeve in half and cut off the end of the fabric like shown above in box 2.2.
9. Sew together the two sleeves down the middle.
10. Gather the middle part of the fabric to create a bow.
11. Using your other fabric cut a strip and wrap it around the middle of the bow. 
12. Sew it together.
13. Sew on your snaps on the top collar part of your vest.
14. Sew on the bow on the top layer of your vest right in the middle where you sewed on your snaps.
(I had to use Velcro on the tops of my bows so that they would stay the way I liked it without sagging. This step is up to you.)
15. Viola! Yet another cute and simple summer vest!
