Here's what we did...
(pretty much following this video.)
Start with any T-Shirt laid out flat.
I cut about 6 inches of "fringe" to the bottom of the shirt, cutting the front and back separately.
Knot two pieces together.
Then knot the next two strands together.
Then take a strand from each of the new knots and tie them into a knot...like so.
Continue this pattern all the way around the shirt.
Clare felt like Aunt Margaret (fashion school grad!) since we "made" her shirt. This was a fun project for us to work on together and kept us busy while Michael took a TWO HOUR nap one afternoon! Win-win-win!
In researching how to re-make Clare's shirt I came across this website with several other T-Shirt "hack" ideas:

I especially liked the ruffle ideas!
