Make a halter top out of a t-shirt

Hermes

I saw someone wearing one of these recently - thought it looked kinda cool, actually...

Kelly · Hermes

OK that does look pretty cool. I have tons of T-shirts I don't want to part with, but all the "t-shirt reinvention" projects I saw required too much sewing (which, for me, is anything over like 5 minutes!) so I will definitely have to try this...I'll report back

Tati · Chanel

I SO want to do this! BUt I have no sewing machine!

Hermes

you know, the one I saw was just cut - like this only the front of the neck was cut into a V:

so basically, you would cut off the arms, cut out the back up to the collar, then fold in or cut off the flaps left in the front - kwim? then cut a v-shaped notch through the front of the collar. no sew halter.

there's this too:

I don't either...but I think it will be fine. I could always go to someone's house to borrow theirs, but it seems like something that could quickly and easily be done by hand.
