Racer Back Tee DIY #3 Three braid back.

This Racer Back Tee has three braids in the back. 
This is just another version of #1 basic, racer back tee.
 HERE
Tutorial 
Things you need.



  1. Black v-neck  Tee ( mine is an extra large, but you can use any size)
  2. Scissors
  3. Chalk
  4. 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.

Happy Sunday everyone.
Lots of <3,

  3. This is really cute - I've been looking for t-shirt redos to make souvenir shirts into something more feminine and attractive.

  8. Question: 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?

  12. This is such a cute look, but would it be okay to do it with a crew-neck t-shirt?
