Remember the Anchors Away Tee? I loved it so much I made one for me! With a few grown up changes:)
Let’s get started! Go ahead and follow the Anchor’s Away tute through Step 5. Just click on the pic…
Now we’re going to make a few changes…
1. Sew a piece of fabric to the front of your shirt with right sides together in a deep V shape. Make sure it’s at least 1″ wider than you want the opening in your shirt to be. Finish the edges to prevent fraying- I used pinking shears. {sorry sideways photo}
2. Cut out the center of your shirt and notch the fabric. Cut as close as you can to the stitching line without cutting through it.
3. Turn the fabric to the backside and topstitch along the edge.
4. Fold the upper edge over twice all the way around the shirt to form a casing. Thread some jute cord through and you’re finished!
enjoy your new shirt & a lazy day!

I can’t find the link to the anchors away top. It says that it no longer exists. Do you have an alternate link? I love the top:)
