T-shirt into Blouse

Fed up with t-shirts...
 we so got used  to wear t-shirt and jeans because of that comfort... we just forgot dressing up culture
Nowadays we see people in pajamas on the street... what would our ancestors would say to that i wonder?...

I love cotton myself by all means but it's s boring all those t-shirts...

so I decided to combine 2 in one... t-shirt cotton and blouse element and I like it...

First thing I did was cut V neck and added collar with double tie, one is net tie and another is cotton tie

Next thing was tulip sleeve on top of the cap sleeve

And this is the end result... I like it , my friends like it and asked me to make them one like this

Crochet lace for decorating your clothes

I was looking for ready made lace to decorate my tops and to loosen up some tight ones but not always I could find what I wanted, so I crocheted my own.

How to loosen tight clothes. Top plus size

I bought this top in 2 colours same size, but white one for some reason was tighter then the lime top and it looked awfull.
I decided to loosen it with lace inserts, but I couldn't find the right ones so I decided to crochet my own.
 

 

This is it. Topwith the lace inserts

How to loosen tight clothes. Combi shorts

What is your clothes became too tight or you can not find your size?  Is it always a problem or there's a way around it.... Let's see

This combi dress a bit too tight on the hips and neck is too closed and request was to make open shoulders

The neck is elastic and can be just moved lower, but then sleeves are too long and there's border pattern on the edge of the cleeve so it's gonna be lost if simply cott off so I decided to lower neck opening and shoulders.

  

 I've removed the stretchy neck first and marked how much lower I have to cut

 I've cut the neck and top of the sleeves lower to create open shoulders

 Then I 've crocheted 10 square motifs and 2 triangle ones and joined them together to form the inserts

like so....

Insert the motiffs into side seams like so...
