"WORKING FOR THE RAT RACE, YOU KNOW YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME".

Listening to: Rat Race- The Specials.

Sorry I have been absent from blogging for most of this week- I have been beyond  tired working long days at work Monday to Friday and really just wanted to concentrate on a bit of me time (which mostly consisted of sitting in my leopard print Boohoo onesie reading books on my kindle).

But I'm back with a little DIY project I want to share.

I have made a beautiful slime Goddess crop top.

I've been full of lust at late for a slime word top, such as the beauties form Nikki lipstick ever since I saw Laura's (from A Forte For Fashion) slime nail art. Not being one who has painted nails every day (which I am very jealous of) I wanted the chance to carry around my only little bit of slime inspired fashion.

Whoever  beautiful these items are (a little pick from what I have been inspired by) the actual message wasn't really for me. I wanted something 'positive' to flash about, something very Jodie- and well I am a Goddess so it only seemed appropriate I made my own.

The letters I got from Font Space , tweaked them a little bit, and cut out the centre- I left this a little messy because I didn't want perfectly clean lines of the letter I wanted them a to look as slimy as possible (I also didn't cut out all the doubled-up letters because I was just plain lazy).

I use men's medium t-shirts whenever I'm DIYing- I just think men's are a  better cut. I wanted the letters to go across my chest and I know from experience that the bottom of men's sleeves cut across where I wanted- so I placed newspaper there to give e a guide and protect the other side of the top.



I paced the letters over the newspaper guide and lightly drew around the outline for each letter, removed the stencil and painted the letters on with Dylon fabric paint properly.

As you can see I made a few tiny mistakes (I couldn't for the life of me remember how the curve or a G went for a moment) so went over them with a black Dylon fabric pen.

To get the cut how I wanted I cut the neckline from about 2 inches away from the sleeve seams either side, folded in half to match either point and cut in practically a straight line. For the length of the crop at the waist I explained in this post (its important that you cut the neckline first as its going to affect the length of the crop).

What does everyone think?
