Welcome to Project Re-Style day.!
My favorite day.
I have seen so many of these shirts around that I had to try and make one myself. Now, I know this style is for a certain age and believe me, I will not be sporting this shirt around without a tank, or maybe as a bathing suit cover up. But, for the younger generation, it is fun Summer shirt, and an easy way to change up and old tee-shirt you might be tired of.
As always the details about
Project Re-style
will be at the end of this post.

Inspiration
Tutorial
Things you need
1. Tee-shirt
2. Scissors
3. Ribbon or extra knit material for the bow.
4. Sewing machine
1. Cut out the collar
2. Flip the shirt over, cut a straight line up the back to about 3 inches from the collar.
3. Cut the sleeves
4. Take your two pieces and overlap them at the bottom. I overlapped them about 4 inches, but if your shirt is bigger you can go in more.
5. Sew them together at the bottom. I used the original hem as a guideline.
6. Tie a bow at the top. using your ribbon or extra material.

Nice that you combined it with a green top underneath. Ever wonder why designers & stylist market clothes but no underwear? Are the clothes so expensive, we can't afford a bra anymore? LOL

Do you think this would work if you just cut it through the middle, not cutting the bottom so you wouldn't have to sew it?
ReplyDeleteHey Rachel I did another open back shirt that you don't have to sew. It is the criss cross Back Tee. http://wobisobi.blogspot.com/2013/06/no-sew-crisscross-back-t-shirt-diy.html

I've already seen it, I was thinking that you could definitely do this exact same thing without cutting the bottom. I'm gonna try it, I'll let you know if it works out.
DeleteThanks!
Rachel
ps - your shirt surgeries are awesome!
