Let's Get Started
Step 1
Gather your materials.
Step 2
Measure the distance between your armpits (along your back). Open up your fabric with the long side placed horizontally. Mark the measurement from Step 1 in the middle of your fabric, about six inches
from the top.
Step 3
Cut two long ovals (large enough for your arms to fit through) at each end of the measurement (my measurement was 12 inches, so I cut a slit at one inch and 12 inches).
Step 4
Cut out stencils in your card stock. Get creative here!
Step 5
Paint designs onto your fabric using the stencils.
Step 6
There you have it! Style your new piece with a tee underneath, mixing patterns if the colors mesh well.
