No Sew, T-Shirt Vest.

Super Easy, No sew,  T-Shirt Vest. 
Naming this,
The Sarah Vest.
I don't know about you, but I have been seeing these vests everywhere.  
My sister  always has such cool ones.
Cute, easy, and comfortable, vests like these are a really adorable way to layer and change up an outfit. Wow!, and it only cost me  $3.00. ( I bought a pack of 3 ,v neck, t- shirts for $9.00 )  Now I can make one in  every color and it won't break the bank.  
I made a basic White one this time, but I think a black one is next on my list.  
Go design crazy, use your imagination,  add things like pretty ribbon, or ruffles, buttons, chains, flowers, really experiment, that's the fun part.

HERE
Things You Need


 1. Fold the t shirt in half, to find the middle~ I ironed  it to mark the middle~ or you could mark the middle with chalk.
2. Cut  on the red lines.
 3. After you cut the main cuts, you are going to have to trim it down a little more, like the shirt  in the picture above.

4. Trim 6, one inch strips, of t shirt material~ I used the sleeve~ and tie  the shirt as shown in the picture above.
Two up around the collar bone , and Four in the back.
5.  I stretched the material under the arm and around the neck to make the material curl.

and  with that,
you are done with the basic vest.




Now you can change this up any way you want.
I am still thinking about how I want to make mine different.


I Re-Styled the  Vest,
HERE  
take a look.
 Some other easy Vests I made are on the links below.
A Scarf vest HERE 
and  another no sew T-Shirt Vest HERE.
I also have a Re-Style tab at the top of this page. 
You can click on that for all my other Re-Styles.
Have a Wonderful Thursday.

  13. I just found your blog and I must say, this is brilliant! Those vests look great with long sleeve shirts as well as short, so with winter coming up, it will be a great way to spruce up the wardrobe on the frugal side.

    2. Did not do too bad for my first time. Turned out pretty good. I would recommend however buying a size larger t-shirt then what you normally wear unless you want it fitted. Of course, it could've been the way I cut too. =)

  30. Such a cute idea!!! I can't wait to make one! Do you buy the tshirt in your actual size or a size bigger??

  31. I have got to try this. I have a 7 year old grandaughter who would love one of these. Thanks for the great idea.

  38. Oh My...I'm not sure how I found your awesome site but I love it! This project is adorable, Imma be forwarding to all of my DIYer friends for sure! Yay! One question though Please...How much bigger of a tee do you suggest you go than the size you normally wear? IE:A men's medium for say a 7-9 maybe? Just curious, want to give my girlie's an idea as we are all different sizes. Me? I'm a size 3 but like things big..was thinking a men's medium as well? Thanks in advance...Your new biggest Fan.

    1. Hello there you:) so glad you found me. I wear a medium in womens sizes, so I did this vest in a mens medium, the only real difference is the length when you change sizes. if you would like a longer vest go up to a large. But if your a size 3, then medium or small mens would most likely good for you. I hope this helps. I always practice on an old shirt old my husbands. have a fantastic day.

  39. Thanks for posting. Your creativity is inspiring. My 10 year old daughter and I are cleaning out the closets (my T-shirts for her vests, my husbands t-shirts for vest for me). I am an avid sewer, but LOVE the fact that these are 'no-sew' for a fun project that can be done so quickly with so little tools. Please keep sharing your ideas... they really are inspiring.

  42. We're bound for Boracay next weekend, and I've been looking for a cute swimsuit cover-up...and this will be just perfect. I'm off to hunt for tshirts...! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Super Cute! I have to agree with all the comments. My only question is about washing. Do you toss it into the washer & dryer? Do the cut edges stretch? I'd like to make one in black and maybe jazz it up with studs or something similar for going out. I'm looking forward to trying this. Thank you for sharing this with all of us! clelldonnar@gmail.com

  48. I used this pattern to make a bathing suit cover-up for my daughter. I did not cut down the middle of the front. Instead of a vest it is a dress. The way it gathers in the back allows for a little flair at the bottom. Super easy and super cute.
