this is the result of painting outside in the sweltering heat. 

we made what we call fancy cut-offs. 

we took an old t-shirt, cut the sleeves and neck off, made a deep v in the back for a racerback and cut off some fabric off the bottom to tie the back together. (this is demonstrated in the third picture- we made a knot a couple inches above where the cut ended and wrapped it around until it was a couple of inches to the top and made a knot and cut off excess fabric. we played around with how much we cut or how far we wrapped around the fabric, these are the basics but you want to make it to fit how you would like it!so, go ahead and make a summer t-shirt to paint furniture, or other things that involve getting dirty and being underneath the sun.
