More fun with knits


I rescued this T-shirt; it had a hole near the end of one sleeve, so I cut off both sleeves to a short 3/4 length and added a folded strip of dotted jersey left over from my leggings to finish the ends.

I also added a lined strip of the dotted jersey to the neckline to make a small drape and a tie.  I sewed it on the serger, turned it, then used the sewing machine and a straight stitch to attach it to the already-finished neckline.



Yay for creative mending!

Very thrifty!

And I bought the shirt from the Goodwill in the first place.
