This Racer Back Tee has three braids in the back.
This is just another version of #1 basic, racer back tee.
Tutorial
Things you need.
- Black v-neck Tee ( mine is an extra large, but you can use any size)
- Scissors
- Chalk
- Needle and thread ~the same color as the shirt.
Use the chalk to trace a line on the shirt.
cut off the sleeves
This is how I cut the back.
Cut the back into three equal sections.
Cut each section into three more equal parts.
Braid each section
now you have three braids
pin each braid to the underside of collar .
and hand stitch it,
trim off the excess material.
And that is all there is to it.
A great bathing suit cover up.

ReplyDeleteQuestion: On the back cut view (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vBnygPNGwDc/T-expSAZA1I/AAAAAAAAJuo/WrYw9Asl9BM/s640/braid+back.jpg)it appears that the collar is being cut off. But then in this picture (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OmZisll2-1I/T-et_4mebWI/AAAAAAAAJuA/2onG57gW1l0/s640/braid12.jpg) it appears to still be there so that the braided sections can be sewn to it. Should the whole collar stay in tact while cutting the three sections?
ReplyDeleteYes, the collar should stay intact.:)
Deletewow so nice
