Scarf? Necklace? Not sure which category it falls in, but I think my rotary cutter is due some exercise with as many seamless t-shirts as I can lay my hands on.
Because that's all this is. And even with an ancient white (grey) t-shirt salvaged from the rag bag, I am in love with the idea. I had bookmarked the tutorial, but it was seeing Sooz' version that got me rooting. And 5 minutes later, it was done.
Suddenly, I have an irresistible urge to purge the boys' wardrobes.... they must have out-grown some t-shirts recently.
This remarkable creation is unbelievebly cool! Excuse me now...while I rummage my old t-shirt drawer!!

Oh my, and I just gave some tees to charity, darn it, off to husband's drawers....

What a great idea... off to find some tee shirts!

Don't know what to call it either but I really like it!!
On the hunt for some t-shirts now....
Thanks for sharing xxx

Now hang on, weren't you chopping up T-shirts to make into corsets the other month?
That is really very cute. I am planning to steal T-shirts to make girly headbands pretty soon. All those old baby T-shirts I lovingly saved now have a use!

Cool! I like this a lot!

That is really effective. Must get a rotary cutter...
Posted by: Rattling On | 09 June 2009 at 16:55
Such a good idea! It looks great.

I love it. Make loads in lots of different colours! :-)

I may be copying you yet again...

That looks really cute.
I don't think we have any seamless t-shirts, mind. And I don't think that I have the style to pull it off. I'll put it on the list for when I finally start dressing like a grown up, though. When that day comes I should have plenty of t-shirts, though, as that's all I wear...

That's such a brilliant idea! But I'm going to echo UK lass in US and say that I KNOW I don't have the style and panache to pull it off! Where most people will look amazingly classy I'd just look like I'd got a cut up t-shirt round my neck! How I long to grow up - do you think it will ever happen?
Hmmmm, thought not!

Posted by: Tiel | 10 June 2009 at 12:10
I love it!! I have a brand new blade in my rotary cutter - now all I need is to have a rootle through the children's clothes :-)

You always find amazing tutorials for things! What could you call them...T-necks? scarf-T's! They look fab!
Sorry your mum forgot about the fair! Maybe the next one on dec 12th............... x
Posted by: Simply H | 10 June 2009 at 13:19
Quite fabulous! I think my neck is too short to pull it off, but you look marvelous.
By the way, I got the Alabama Stitch Book for my birthday and am having so much fun looking at it and deciding what project to try first.

Great idea, it looks fab! And thanks for the link.
Posted by: sarah | 10 June 2009 at 16:28
It looks great on you! You have the knack. I'd look as if I had wrapped myself in bandages.
Posted by: The Coffee Lady | 10 June 2009 at 19:47
love it! i imagine it's like making continuous bias tape? although, no, that would be hard with the rotary cutter...
Posted by: Péitseoga | 10 June 2009 at 23:26
This is what blogging is all about. Going away excited by an inspirational idea and not being able to make one for myself quickly enough. Thanks so much for the link.
Posted by: Simmy | 11 June 2009 at 15:32
Love it! And I just made one, too. It was the first crafty thing I've done in months, so thank you for the nudge back to things I enjoy!
Posted by: Megan | 12 June 2009 at 16:58
Wow, that is so cool! Thanks for the link to the tutorial.
