Make a few more slits to give that ripped jean look...

Stretch the holes so the tendrils get thin & split...

& color inside the lines-ness!!!!

Give the other side a similar treatment...

I try not to go for symmetry... That would not feel as "authentic"... X-D

Make A T-Shirt Rock!!! No-Sew Style!

Once Upon A Time...

There was a Fierce Lady named Liz...

She was in need of a Fierce 

No-Sew Make Over 

for her Skinny Puppy T-Shirt!

Scissors to the Ready!!!

GOOOOOOOOOO!

Flat out on a surface 

don't care if its clean... 

ITS ROCK 'N' ROLL!!!!

Fold Front onto itself 

to evenly cut 

the front of the neckline....

Lay Flat 

to create a scoop in front 

& leave plenty in the back for 

SHOULDER STABILITY!

CUT that bottom hem OFF! 

You will need that Scrap so 

DON'T TOSS IT!!!

(see how I've cut the x-tra fab from the hem stitchin....;-)

OMG!

& fold it so the middle of the back is displayed 

& ready for cutting!

You can start at the Top 

or the Bottom...

of the looser shape ;-) 

Create an X-tra Flare with the peek-a-boo! 

Colorful/Patterned bras, tanks....
