Too Long Straps REVISED
****As promised, here is the updated picture of what the straps look like when they are ruffled and ribboned.
So yeah, I made this banging tank to wear on a cool spring day, but I over-measured the straps, thus, it fell down waaaaay past my.... well, use your imagination. So I came up with a solution that didn't involve more crocheting or ripping out stitches!
I threaded a ribbon through the straps. I started in the front, threaded it through the back, then back up front. Then I tied the two ends together, and when I pulled tight, it scrunched the straps to make them shorter. It also ruffled them, creating a very feminine look. In addition, you can adjust them, and if you wanted, tie the bow on the outside to give it an even girlier look. Good luck!













This is very, very cute! Can you show us a photo of the scrunched up straps? I'd love to see how that turned out.

Yes of course... give me a little while... I need to buy batts for my cam!
