I love the altered tank top from the book Sew darn cute and thought I would give it a go. I had the girls choose their favorite scraps from my scrap basket, which by the way Mary picked all her fabrics by herself- I'm impressed, and thought they would be really cute with little sleeves. I put trim around the neck and added some beads between the scallops for some bling and if that wasn't busy enough I had to go and add wings.
I don't thing they turned out too bad but not at all what I had in mind. I wanted subtle little sleeves and instead the girls look like the Prince from Cinderella. All they need now is the fringe.
They love them as is and I'm not the type to rip out stitches and start over so I'm starting a new fashion trend. Tanks with wings. Think it will catch on? ;)
I see what you're saying, but I REALLY don't think it's quite that bad. :) The girls love them, that's the important thing!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm usually a lurker but those tanks are totally cute! The little wings are cute and frilly without being like prom dress poufy! Very cute and I bet the girls love them especially because they got to help by picking out the fabrics. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI think it's adorable...I love your version. My friend wrote a pattern that includes the instructions to do angel wings on tank tops...very cute!

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI'm a lurker too! Those shirts are SO cute! I had a lot of dresses and blouses with sleeves like that when I was little. We called them butterfly sleeves. I miss the seventies... good times.

very, very cute. I need your girls to come pick some coordinating fabrics for me. I'm terrible at it.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I like it so much that I was contemplating making myself one, since I have no little girlies around my house. It is even more tempting when you can get a tank for $5! I guess it will be another idea for the future. You did great and your girls look super cute!
ReplyDeleteI think they are frickin' adorable! My heart hurts a little though, because I have a boy and my DH would KILL me if I put him in this tank!
ReplyDeleteum, i'm not a lurker. i'm here big and bold everyday. hello.
ReplyDeletevery rocktastic tanks!!! and i love the reference to Prince Charming. You do have an eye for flair.
I think they are cute! And they have already caught on with all the tut's out there! Love your version via la' book!
ReplyDelete♥ Very cute! I really like Mary's pick of fabric too! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it SHOULD catch on b/c they're adorable! Very cute. You are quite skilled. :)
