Here is another fun t-shirt recycle I designed and it's quite easy. This is a unique way to create a shirt without showing too much skin (just enough). It can be dressy or casual as well.
I used an old large t-shirt I had in my scrap trunk...it had one sleeve for some reason. I also made my own trimming since I had the Dritz Plier Set. You can also get pre-made trim with the eyelets already inserted from the fabric store. Just look in the trim isle. I prefer to make mine because it's easier to customize the length in between each eyelet.
Supplies:
DIY
- Removed any sleeves.
- Cut the shoulder seams open.
- Cut a scoop neck. You want to be a light scoop neck, not too low, almost straight across.
- Create your trim with your Dritz Plier set. I used a hem from an old shirt or you can fold a strip of jersey in half, press down and use that as your trim. Follow the product instructions to insert the eyelets with the plier set into the fabric.
- Top stitch the trim along the collar front and back. Trim any excess from the ending side (do this on front and back).
- Then lace it up. I used jersey string (you can use ribbon) to lace it up starting at the shoulder side and ending to the collar. Make sure you can put your head through!!!
Tie ends and done...Rocker Chic!
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, thanks for sharing it! Do you need special pliers or will it work with every other pair of pliers as well?
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, it's almost weekend! :)

Deletehow much would this shirt cost? i love love love it! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! It looks terrific on you! I am interested in using this technique to lace up the sides of a t-shirt, but I'd rather skip the grommet-by-hand part and have a ready made strip as you mentioned you have seen in fabric stores, but I cannot find it! Joann's doesn't seem to carry it, in store or online, and I have just spent an hour searching online for "grommet tape" and "eyelet tape/strip" and similar things, to no avail, other than one choice on Etsy. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful work (and beautiful self!) are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your works of art!
Hi Adrienne,
DeleteI do see it at joanns where I am. Have you tried the trim sections? I would go to the section where they sell the grommet pliers and they usually have some there sold in yards or in a case. Hope you find it...ask the workers for help too, they should have some.
Thanks :)
Laura
I just bought it from JoAnn Fabrics today, it's in the spool section that sell by the yard.
DeleteDid you finish off the sleeve edges or the bottom at all? If not, how does it do after washing? And is the bottom cut anything special or just straight (looks as though the back is cut longer that the front). Just curious before I destroy a shirt I really want to try this on!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise
so beautiful

Would a smaller tee look as good? I have a new concert tee I'm wanting to do this to, but I'm unsure of how it would look because it's my size (small). I'm thinking I might leave the sleeves on as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteHugs!!!
I love this and its not often I find stuff I like, your very talented! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow did you make the trim? did you just use spare fabric?
