Sure, its 20 degrees outside and my shoulders feel like they will never see the outside again, but I was inspired to make this halter top anyway. Maybe I was trying to think warm thoughts and summer clothes help that, but also I am one of those people that gets an idea and wants to do it right away regardless of the logical objection to wearing a halter top in February. I did, in fact, wear this baby one day, it was under a hoodie, coat, and scarf, but at least I could show it off when I was inside.

Materials

T-shirt
fabric (enough to go around the edge of the shirt, preferably t-shirt fabric or something with stretch)
scissors
thread/sewing machine (optional, you could do this by hand too)

Directions

1. Cut off sleeves by making a triangle in the front of the shirt. Then cut across the back where it would hit the bottom of your shoulder blades.
2. Cut out rectangle strip of fabric, fold and sew together.
3. Sew the strip of fabric to the shirt edge leaving about 5 inches or so to make the tie.
4. Since this is a halter top it needs to fit tight to your body. Like this:

Modify the shirt by cutting two slits up the back and sewing them together so that the shirt fits tight to your body. Your done now, think warm thoughts and layer
