Jazz up your Shirt

I keep seeing these awesome low back shirts with cute jewelry dangling in the open space. I am not a size small, and the shirts I see don't usually compliment my size or personality. I hit the jackpot while shopping with my friend, I found a low back black t shirt on the clearance rack in American Eagle. Under $10! Yes!
I like options, so the beads are strung together and hooked on the shirt using a jewelry clasp. I stitched a little piece of ribbon into the shoulder seam on each side to hold the bead strands in place. It can still be worn without the beads too. (Note the kitty helping. He helps with everything.)
I thought about only having two strands, but there were just enough beads to make a tighter top strand.
Finally, the finished product!

Back in the Game

Life got busy and I forgot about my blog! Life tends to get busy and I tend to forget stuff, so this isn't unusual. I left my retail job a few months ago, it was replaced with twice as very rewarding work. Better, much better! I was hoping this would give me more time to do things I want to do, it hasn't really worked that way. I have done a little bit of sewing and crafting, a little bit of cooking and a lot of running. Whew! Well, I'm back!
