↓↓ Detailed steps bellow ↓↓

Supplies:
-t shirt
-elastic
-pins
-scissors
-2 colours of thread (put onto 2 bobbins as well)
-sewing machine

Step 1 - pin down the elastic to form the neckline and detail. Try it on

Step 2 - cut out the front piece of your cami following along the seam of the tshirt, the seam of the arm holes, and the new neckline you just created with the elastics. Leave a little extra seam allowance on the neckline because this part will be folded over and you will lose some fabric.

Step 3 - cut out a square from the back of the shirt

you will now have the two front and back pieces of your cami

Step 4 - unpin the elastic details as they were just used as a guide.

Step 5 - pin a new single piece of elastic along the neckline. RIGHT sides facing together and if your elastic has a fancy detail make sure the detail is facing down.

Step 6 - zigzag stitch the elastic down, trim excess fabric, mark center front with a pin, fold over elastic so that the fancy detail (typically picot edge) is facing up, pin down so that it is easier to iron, iron garment, and zigzag again making sure that you are using a white top thread. In this step I like to use a bobbin that matches the elastic so that it looks less messy on the inside. This is not necessary.

Step 7 - sew a diagonal straight stitch where you market the center front, this straight stitch will create the "V" of the neckline

Step 8 - pin down the decorative elastic and using a blue top thread (again, blue bobbin will show on the inside of the shirt while white will show less on the inside) zigzag stitch the elastic detail onto the shirt. Make sure to over lap the two elastics at the V of the neckline (this will later be covered by a bow)

Step 9 - attach the back and front pieces together with a white zigzag stitch. Start from the bottom hem to make sure that the two hems (that are already hemmed on the tshirt) are lined up. If the top pieces don't line up, not a problem, just trim with some scissors so they create a straight line. During this step make sure to try on the shirt, you can take it in more on the sides for a tighter fit or leave it how it is. I like to trim down the side seams to about 1cm and then do another zigzag stitch to secure.

Step 10 - now place elastic alone the sides and the back. You can decide you want to reshape the back of the cami (I made mine a little lower in the back) or leave it how it is and keep the straight across shape. copy attaching the elastic as in Step 6

Step 11 - hand stitch on the bow

Step 12 - placing right sides together straight stitch the elastic strap to the front of the cami. trim away bulk. fold so that the elastic strap is facing up and hand stitch for this to stay in place

Step 13 - try on cami and pin where you would like the back straps to lay. I like to use a straight stitch and stitch a little square to make sure the strap is on nice and secure. Trim away excess fabric to tidy it all up and you're done !
