Turn a plain T-shirt into a high fashion wrap top, lickety-split.
Wrapping is a big component of this summer’s fashion look. If you have a plain cotton T-shirt, you can have a hot fashion item in no time.
STEP 1 Cut up center front to within 5cm (2 in.) of armhole. 
STEP 2 Fold in half along center back and center front. Cut a diagonal line as shown in diagram. Cut removed section in half along center back fold line to create two ties.
STEP 3 With right sides together, stitch short edges of one tie diagonally across bottom of one point at bottom front of T-shirt . Repeat with second tie.
STEP 4 Zigzag-stitch all raw edges; turn under 1.5 cm (5/8 in.); topstitch. 
To wear, cross ties at the front, wrap around to the back and secure in a snug knot.

This is great! I used a white men’s small undershirt (really light-weight/sheer). I then used teal thread everywhere and embellished with some things of my own around the neckline and sleeves. It turned out really cool, and took about 20 minutes to finish the entire thing (hand stitching)!
Also, try tying it like a halter: cross it in front so it forms an X (the intersection will hit between your breasts) and tie around neck.
Both ways to wear it are great as a swimming-suit cover up!
