Tutorial: Make a shrug from a t shirt

I've still got hand sewing on the brain, but I wanted to make a shrug from a recycled/upcycled t shirt.

I did not do it by hand because I was into instant gratification! 

The first cut of the bodice is 13" from the neckline/shoulder.

 I cut a pleasing curve.

 I have a bin full of these hems.

 I also cut 1/2" strips for trimming.

 Sewing first strip.

 Second row.

 And the sleeves.

 These strips will develop more character with washing and wearing.

 Finished!
