OK, I’m getting over my averse feelings regarding posting about my fashion endeavors. There are too many great sewing projects to ignore. So, I saw this video tutorial to make a halter top from an old t-shirt. My husband was kind enough to donate one of his for the cause and I completed the project in about 15 minutes – with a baby in the same room! The only thing is if you follow the tute exactly the drape in the front IS quite low. For someone like me that subscribes to the “modest is hottest” philosophy, it was just too sexy for everyday wear. So I wear a top underneath and I don’t think that’s too much of a fashion faux pas.
Anyway, give it a try! It’s pretty much instant gratification and such a cheap DIY top.
On a separate note: look at my moderately buff arms! That’s what happens when you carry around a 20 lb baby all day long. Ha!

So cute! I’ll definitely have to check out the tutorial. I think a little black tank or cami looks great with this. Thanks for sharing!
