One Top + One Top = One Awesome Top

So. I have this habit of going to the Goodwill outlet shores and walking out with really random things. One of those things was this really awesome shirt. Well. It would be awesome if I was d'Artagnan. I decided to chop it and mash it with another top that I never wear.

Check out that bead work!

Warning: Neckline will choke you.

First I cut off the sleeves and yoke, while still leaving the buttons. Keep in mind that I kept all the beads from the yoke to use for making jewelry. 

On the second shirt I have to remove the zipper on the back and sew it back together. I'll use the zipper on another project. 

Now I pinned them together. I pinned one section at a time to keep from messing up. Once I pinned down the left breast, I drew a line in pencil with a seam allowance and cut along that line.

Continue this process of pinning, sewing, and cutting for the other breast and the back. 

Sewing the sleeve.  

 Finished!

 It seems like a waste to use two shirts to make one tank, but this is something I'll actually wear!
