I just love a fancy jersey t-shirt. They are so versatile and manage to be both comfy and flattering. I collect images of the simple little details that can be added to jersey tops to make them special.
A couple of years ago I splurged on a Velvet top that I had been eyeing at Garnet Hill. The color was perfect for a pair of Boden shoes that make me feel fabulous (see here) and I loved the neck detail. This was before I learned to sew with jersey, so it wasn't something I could make for myself at the time. Even on sale, it still cost something like $48, but I had some birthday money so I decided to be extravagant (after all, my motto is, "Moderation is all things, including moderation.").
If you are as frugal as I normally am, you can imagine my disgust when the top developed small holes near the front hem after only a dozen washes. This top was supposed to last at least a decade! I held onto it, partially because I paid so much and partially because I hoped to have the skills to do something with it someday.
And now I do! Keep reading for my tutorial on how to turn a ruined t-shirt into a sexy new dress.
