Want a easy halter for summer without spending a fortune?
Then this is the project for you.
Tutorial
Things You Need
1. T-shirt, mine was a men's small.
2. Cord or ribbon ~One Yard
3. Extra material~ if you want to make the ruffle neck line.
4. Sewing machine
5. Scissors
6. Needle and thread the same color as the shirt you use.
Cut where I marked the orange lines.
Fold over and sew 1 inch hem.
I also hemmed under the arms 1/2 inch.
Thread your cord through the hem that you made on the front and the back, then tie the two ends of the cord together
Take your material and cut 4 inch strips.
Fold the strips in half and hand stitch a running stitch at the folded side, then gather your material to make the ruffle.
Then you hand baste it to your shirt around the neck line.
Tous les Fini!
A new white halter for summer.
Use your imagination and change it up a bit by using ribbon where the cord is or different color material around the neck. The possibilities are endless.
As always email me if you have any questions.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Anne-
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me! BTW...where did you get your dressform?
Thanks for linking to Creative Juice. Hope to see you back again this week!
This is the cutest thing ever! I'm SO doing this! My husband has a bunch of shirts he doesn't wear so I'll just go raid his closet :D
ReplyDeleteOk, you have me hooked now. I'm so in love with this! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I'm never going to look at a piece of clothing as "just a t shirt" ever again!
ReplyDeleteSo, I found this on pinterest and wanted to thank you!! I found an old white shirt that Ive only worn like 2 times and was going to get rid of it... not anymore!!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this ...I'll be making one very soon.
ReplyDeleteA friend and I are making 1 of these today for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteWe also decided to modify and embellish just a wee bit.
thank you so much for the idea.
I think this is amazing and really want to try it. I'm trying to gauge what size to use though-- I noticed that you used a men's small. I'm only 5', have a petite frame and short torso. What size do you recommend that I use for this so that it's not too long?
ReplyDeleteThis is way cute...thanks. I am assuming, however, that you hemmed the underams first and then folded the tops of the top and back and sewed that second making the pocket for the chord? That is how I see it in my mind. Thanks again.
