Off the Shoulder, Ladder V-neck Tee: DIY

Lena sent me a picture of a shirt that she wanted me to write up a DIY for.

I made mine a little different,

but at the end of this post I will show you how to do this.

Which I call the Butterfly. 

I love getting requests for DIY-ing,

Keep them coming.:)

 Tutorial

Things you need

1.  T-Shirt * Fruit of the Loom, medium men's
2. Scissors
3. Thread and a needle or a sewing machine.

Cut off the collar.

 Fold the front part of the shirt in half and cut slits  gradually reducing the length of each slit.

 This it what the shirt looks like when you open it back up.

I cut the top of the shirt about an 1/2 inch away from the shoulder seams.

It will look like the picture above.

OK, now for the laddering.

take the second from the bottom piece 

and pull it  under and on top of the bottom piece .

 gradually take each piece and do the same thing all the way up to the top.

 Video for Laddering HERE.

I learn by watching, I hope this video helps.

 Cut the last piece in half

 Tie it off on each side

 now cut a arched shape at the bottom of the tee.

*Save the bottom hem.

Out of the bottom hem cut two 7 inch pieces.

 You are going to sew this to the top of your shirt for straps.

 I hand sewed mine but you could use a sewing machine.

 Back

I have a nude color tank under this.

Now for the Butterfly look

Take a piece of your shirt, cut it and make a tee shirt string or use a small ribbon.

wrap it around the middle part of your laddering.

 tie it

That is it.

I hope this Helps you Lena.

Thanks for the Email.

You can wrap that around your neck.

I hope this helps you Lena.

Thanks for the Email.

Have a Fantastic Thursday.

Lots of <3,
