One of my favorite pieces to make are sleeveless shells, tops or blouses. Made out of the right material and with enough coverage, these can be formal enough for work (depending on your office) in the summer and great for layering under blazers, cardigans and sweaters in autumn through spring. Plus they are so quick to make, you can make one in two hours or less. This sleeveless shell was made out of brown t-shirt. I have a knack for getting my hands on promotional t-shirts that are being thrown away and, rather than contribute to our landfills, I take them and make clothes I'll actually wear. Like the shirt above. I unfortunately only had green bias tape to make the facing for the collar line but wasn't able to go to the store and get a different color at the time. This sleeveless shell is made out of two rectangles (seriously). If the fabric has good drape, you can cut two rectangles. Stitch the side seams together but leave openings at the top of the seams. Then stitch the top (shoulder) seam but leave an opening for neckline. Hem everything and you're done!
