Okay, so I am really new at this whole craftyness thing, so I would appreciate any tips whatsoever. I have a plain black t shirt with cap sleeves that is just a bit too short for me. So I was going to take some bright pink, maybe even satiny fabric, and sew it on to the bottom. Then I was going to maybe sew on a little bit of black ribbon or lace onto that. I have never really sewed before so I was going to have my mom help me, but does anyone have any tips on that? Also, I have a really hard time visualizing whether things would actually look good, so do you guys think that would be cute? Should I sew the fabric on the sleeves too, to make it look better? I don't have much time as I'm leaving for school on Friday, so I'm not going to go too crazy. Any input would be much appreciated! Thank you so much!
