After a fruitless search for a patterned tank top, I figured I'd make some of my own out of ill-fitting t-shirts. I had planned a whole tutorial for you using this t-shirt.
After just a couple of wears, it got to be uncomfortable. A bit too tight around the arms and neck. I started by cutting off the sleeves and collar. At this point you want to try the shirt on again. That gives you a sense of where the shirt needs correcting. Usually, the arm holes are too large and the shoulders are too wide. With this shirt, though, it was perfect after cutting. A great length and not too revealing around the armpits. You could go a little narrower on the straps, maybe scoop the neckline a little more, but I favor more of a muscle shirt style so I'm happy with the result.
I feel a little guilty about such a short tutorial, so as a bonus here's a decoration I made for my favorite hat for Earth Day and which I continue to wear.
