T-Shirt Refashion

I've been shredding t-shirts again.

Started off with this boring grey t-shirt and ended up with this.

Vest Topshop
Leggings Claire's Accessories
Shoes Dorothy Perkins

It's more subtle than the last one I made and I'm pleased that the shreds turned out straight and went all the way to the top this time. If you want to make your own check out the tutorial from childhood flames. It doesn't take as long to do the shredding as you think it will.

Asymmetrical Shredded Tee

Here is a little project that I actually started before I went away for Global Xchange. When I posted it on burdastyle a number of people asked how long it took. It is quite difficult to tell. I mean the project didn't get finished for 8 months but I estimate that the actual shredding took no longer than about 8 hours. It was one of those projects that you drop and then pick up again alot. It can't be done in one sitting. The shredding didn't require too much attention so I tended to do it while watching tv but my fingers started to hurt after about 45 mins.

I followed the how to from Camille at childhood flames (link). Thank you very much to her for that. I cut off one sleeve, to make the whole thing asymmetrical (not sure what gave me this idea but the whole thing looked a lot better once it was done), plus the hem of the another sleeve and the bottom hem before I began shredding the t-shirt. I found it difficult to stop the shreds narrowing at top and gave up in the end. I have found that the top can be worn in a variety of ways. On the shoulder, off the shoulder, with a belt, or with the remaining sleeve tucked inside itself to create a one shoulder vest. The weather being pretty cold here in England at the moment I haven't got round to wearing this. Some clever layering is called for.
