Sexy Summer Halter, Threadbanger Projects

I am a more advanced sewer and I tried this with an old baseball tee. I am somewhat confused and disappointed because I followed Megan's instructions exactly and my shirt did not work at all. I was frustrated that she assumes her measurements will work for anyone. i am very curvy and have a large bust. the waist measurement divided by two she said to use at the beginning was wider than the width of my shirt. I measured 22 inches across instead of the 25, her method suggested I needed. The shirt is still baggy at the bottom and the plunge neckline, I used her vertical measurement, hangs below my belly button. Can we get some t-shirt that don't end up looking trashy on large busty women? recons

i love dis epasode cus i used this to hook up my boring high school t-shirt thx alot ;)

oh, I have a top exactly like that!!!

so...im looking for the shirt on tha left of her(Megan Nicolay) and i dnt know wat to call it...do you know if theerz a tutorial on it or something...??!!

that would be a really good swimsuit coverup!

must get my hands on that book!

the neckline was way too low for me so I cut a slit down the front and tie a knot in the front to make a nice gathering detail in the front. I'm either going to add this top to a pair of pants I made to make a romper or make a skirt and make it into a dress.

hey i am a big fann!!! ND I HAVE MADE A halter top but i still need to sew it i really want a sewing machine so i was wondering if u could make a show on how to raise money for a sewing machine??

im taking this tutariol and making a dress out of it i think it would be aweome!

oh ok...this is the one with me in it. Hahah dork! Love threadbanger!

sweet, i am so going to make it! DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE THAT SCARF looking thing?!?!

i tried it and I'm tiny. i guess that this particular one takes a little experimenting.

Did any larger ppl do this? I tried and had to make the back arch larger but it still didn't hang right and was uncomfortable pulling at my neck and riding high on my back and also I had to pull it together in the front stretching the material. Turning it around and putting the back in front worked better but the seam was then in the front and the cowl was in the back. I know I can reverse the pattern and put the seam in the back, but I would like it if the cowl hung in the front. Any suggestions?

I attempted to make this cowl though I found it to fit nicely in the back the front was dipping to my belly button. I'll be trying again and making the top cut for the cowl a little higher up on the t-shirt. Sexy Halter Take 2! Thanks for all the great t-shirt projects!

Love your hat man! Do you have a DIY on it?? Love Generation T!!

I love how there are two commercials for cotton and then at the end she says "yeah one tee uses 6 pounds of pesticides for the COTTON used." hahaha

I just made one it tuned out great!!!! I love it!!! Thank you so much!

I love all these t-shirt recons! I wonder what did Megan do with the other part of the t-shirt... The scarf is quite easy to make. -Cut a t-shirt right below the armpits and cut one side open to make a rectangle. -Cut the fringe along the rectangle (the length is up to you) -Give them a little tug and they automatically get into that tube shape. -Wrap it around, hold it with a beautiful pin and you are done! At least that's the way I do it...(I sew the top edge to have a better looking scarf) . Greeting from Chile, I love your shows!!!!

How do you make her scarf? I can tell it's made from t shirts and I would love to make my own. Is it in her new book?

awesome project I want to know how she made her scarf!

Lovely episode! I love her scarf too... and I also love Corinne's top... any suggestion on how I can make one? Thank you guys!

I wish I had a camera. Lord knows I have the time.

Great tutorial! I love her scarf as well. And thanks for including those facts at the end - it's good to remind people to be aware of what they're buying and where it's come from. Hmmm... now I must think of a tutorial to film! I've been meaning to make one anyway. Although, is the contest even open to Canadian members?

I want to know how Meagan made that awesome scarf that she is wearing in this episode

GAHHHH SO CUTE!

Loved this episode. Way to stick it to those pro-mass commercialism ads by adding those scary statistics. I used to live near a cotton field, and those chemicals made it into our well water resulting in undrinkable water. Thank for the great episodes, and don't let people get you down!

Interesting that you mentioned how many lbs of chemicals are used in growing cotton....that's exactly what I was thinking about when I was watching the 2 cotton commercials during previous episode. You guys should really think about your advertisers a little more closely.

Do you know what you have in common with my "Fixed Gear Hoodie", Megan? You're both hot.

I love her eyebrows! WANT.TO.TOUCH.

I love these t shirt recons! Me and my friend Lori are gathering old tees from are closets and buying thrift store ones to make outfits from her first book. We are going to make outfits together since it isn't fun doing stuff by yourself.Though we still have to buy the book. The public library has it but we've been getting complaints from the librarians about checking out the book too much that other people want to read it. I'm so going to have to show this episode to my friend since she doesn't have a computer. This looks like an absolute must to make since its so sexy looking and it looks quite easy to make. I also found the end statistics interesting. I didn't know that pesticides were used to make a tee shirt.

LOL running with scissors. UHOHs :O

those statistics are craaaaaazy!
