soooooo, i have ideas, i have lot's of ideas, but . . . well, . . . sometimes i just wanna use someone else's ideas. enter: pinterest. i held out on pinning for a long time but i just couldn't resist anymore. there is so much great stuff in one place~ i am hooked. anywho . . . so i recently found a pin (and then re-pinned) for a jazzed up t-shirt. jazzed up as in sew a man's necktie around the collar to take away the 'boring' in boring, plain t-shirt. (original idea master found
here.)
this particular shirt did not start out as a v-neck but i sewed the necktie on in the shape of a V and then cut the excess material out. starting with the skinny end of the tie and working around the collar will end up with extra tie length on the remaining side of the V. no worries~ fold that sucker into pleats. i ended up running a second row of stitching around just cause i liked the look of it that way. also, the back neckline of the shirt is a lower scooping neckline and i wanted to make sure that the necktie would lay flat. the extra stitching helped with that.
