I love ikat. Don't we all? It is everywhere these days (except JoAnn's... they are a little behind the times). So without spending oodles on designer ikat fabric to make home dec goodies out of, I did a little upcycling and transformed this $3 clearance tank into a cute pillow for the bed!
First some inspiration. Madeline Weinrib, anyone?
And Fabricadabra (via MadebyGirl)
So I found this tank on clearance at Marshall's around Christmastime. It sort of fit, but not really. So I scrapped it for raw materials!
Here are some pictures on how I (without wasting) cut apart the top to reuse the fabric.
This tank was lined, so I turned it inside out without the lining and investigated.
I ended up being able to reuse the zipper!
I wished I had had enough fabric to make a square pillow, but I didn't (well, it would have been really tiny).
So I made a rectangle, and it goes well on the bed!
Ta-Da!
