This just in! Cafemom just posted a little something about the Pinup Girl halter top yesterday. That top has been getting a lot of play lately, and I think it’s because it’s so freaking easy. Seriously, it’s a great project for on the go because you can make it in about 30 seconds. No, really, I have!

Ah the t-shirt — a perfect example of comfort that never goes out of style. You can dress it up or down and it goes with just about everything as Cafe Suzanne writes in her ode to white tees.
But what if you wanted to mix it up a little bit? Maybe there’s even a stain you need to hide? You can keep the comfort of the tee, but craft it into something more unique.All you need are a pair of scissors! And some tips from Megan Nicolay.
Megan wrote Generation T Beyond Fashion: 120 New Ways to Transform a T-shirt. Um hello! Amazing!
I love to do this with old rock t-shirts and I have just cut and tied and designed as I went. But how cool is it that there is a book to do the thinking for us?! I love the gathering you can do (step 4 below) if you are working with a shirt that is big for you.
For more ideas, 119 of them actually, Generation T‘s website has more styles and info on where to buy book.
Are you going to try it?

I tried this one for a shirt for my daughter. It was fast and very easy. I could have spent a little more time to mark everything, but without marking it was still a pretty shirt for her made out of an old one. She of course cannot where it to school but it is a great summer shirt!
Hi Daphne! That’s great. I’m so glad the pattern worked out for you — even without the exact measuring! Any pics to share?
