Hi all! Happy Sunday. Down here is a little project I did over the weekend. I've been going crazy with ideas in my head of what to do with my new sewing machine so here it is. Sorry for the crappy iPhone camera quality. Sucky camera for such an advanced piece of technology. (BOO!) Anyways, what I did here is that I cut off the back of one of the many jean shirts I own, of course, since they are so in this season. I just thought I would do something different to it, something else.
This is the back and as you can see, this up here is the American-flag style shirt that I got at the thrift store for about $2. It was way too big for me to even wear but I just fell in love with the fabric. It has also been sitting in my drawer for weeks without any purpose in life so I thought I'd give it a little push. ^_^
I was super nervous about cutting up the back of this shirt for several reasons: 1. I don't handle scissors very well. 2. I also can't cut very straight. 3. It was like 2 in the morning, such a bad time to decide to be creative. LOL.

I was really carried away so I didn't take any pictures in the process but what I did was that I cut off the back, measured out how big of a fabric piece I would need to put them together and sewed them inside out. I'm still a rookie at the skill of sewing anyways so I'll spare you guys the need to see my crooked sewing lines.
I've also decided to be awesome and studded my shirt, since studding is also a HUGE in. I got these beautiful bronze studs on eBay and they were like about $1.99-$2.99, super cheap. I'll put the link down below. Studding is an easy and good way to spice up old clothes and giving them that cool edge, so give it a chance if you haven't yet.
This is the front of the shirt. A nice edge to a boring jean shirt, eh?
And this is the back.
And this is me wearing my awesome creation at the lake on this gorgeous day. Pair it up with normal white tee and scarf and leggings or jeans and there you have a perfect fall outfit.
HAPPY CRAFTING!
