T-Shirt to Tank Top

My t-shirt I recieved from running 6 tunnels to hoover dam. http://www.mountainmanevents.com/sixtunnels.htm  It's a fun race! I ran the half in a team relay and finished 2nd in my division, even though I am SLOW.

I made a straight cut in the front right under the neck band.  Then I cut the sleeves out following the exhisting armhole. I cut the back straight across from the bottom of the armhole.  I used the slash and braiding technique I used in earlier tutorials to finish the cut edge.

 Finished slash n braid edging.

 The finished product.  I sewed the straps where I wanted them :0


Now I am ready to run it next year with my green tank.
