rut row! she's got the scissors out...

i had thrifted this tee a while ago but each time i went to put it on there was something so "meh" about it i would refold it and put it back in its drawer.  although i loved the colour and the design (authentic nineties puff paint, whaaaaat?) the collar was a bit tight and the sleeves an awkward length.  i knew when i bought it a makeover was in order so i finally got around to it.
using sharp scissors i cut away the entire collar "below" the seam line to make it more comfortable.  the sleeves were removed "above" the seam to prevent fraying and curling.  the bottom i left intact as i loved the shorter length of the top.
a fairly easy makeover for a fifty cent tee that i now actually wear instead of leaving in a drawer.  had it involved actual sewing, now that's another story...
