No Sew, Laced Up Shoulder Tee.

I am constantly looking for ways to use leather lace, I have a slight obsession with the stuff. I saw a shirt a while ago with a laced up sleeve but it required sewing.  I do not mind sewing, but not everyone has a sewing machine and if you can create something that anyone can do with as little tools as possible, than more people could make it.
 Anytime I see something I want to create I try my best to do it without sewing. (Kind of a challenge to myself.)  Also, this shirt is made with brass pins which are rust proof. I am sure you could stitch the hems down if you feel the need. I am going to experiment without sewing.

Things You Need.

• Shirt
• Brass Pins *Walmart
• Scissors
• Leather lace or shoe strings. * Walmart or Michaels
• Chalk or a Washable Marker

• Cut off the collar.

• Cut down the top of the sleeve.

• Mark how many pins you would like. I put seven on each side. 
• * Originally I had 13 on each side, that was way too many.

• Fold over your edges twice. This gives the pins more stability.
• You could sew this if you would like.

• Cut the leather lace about 48 inches long.

• Set your pins on the top side of the fabric, using them to hold your hem down.
• Lace up your leather,  alternating back and forth like you would be lacing up a shoe.

• Tie a knot on the end of each leather lace.

• Finished.

Have a Beautiful Day!
