Upcycle an Old Shirt into a Pintuck Tank
I was looking through the Anthropologie catalogue, as I normally do for ideas, and saw a pin tuck tank. I didn't think it would be too tough and so I tried it on a shirt my daughter was getting rid of. The shirt was a cotton but it was a stretchy smooth feeling cotton and sewing pin tucks in it was not the easiest.

I forgot to take a before picture but as you can see it has a mock neck and sleeves.
I sewed the shoulders and then to even out the bottom I sewed the bottom on the other side.
This is picture shows the true color.
Now I will be trying this with an old guys tee, I think it would give me more to work with. Then maybe I could get flutter sleeves and a cowl neck like the from Anthro.
