"Upcycle" Tank Top

 I made this quite awhile ago but forgot about it! This was my first "upcycle" project.  I made it from a hideous shirt that was in a box of free crap that someone gave me.  I love doing these sorts of projects because they challenge my creativity and skills--I only have a certain amount and type of fabric to work with so it's always fun to see what I can do within those boundaries.  I kept the ribbed collar (worked around it, to be exact), added some cute ruffles and some bows on the shoulders (one is not tied in the pics, sorry) and there you have it: a cute summer shirt!  And FREE! 

Total cost:  Free!
