Supplies: Jersey,
Small tshirt.
My fringe sleeve/seam shirt tutorial (here) was a hit...unfortunately though, double sided fringe is a one time find. So here is a great way to get the same effect and I just used old jersey.
DIY:
Fold a soft jersey strip that measures about 6 inches wide and the length of the shirt (x2) long. Cut pinky size strips starting at the folded edge. You will want a thumb size edge left so don't cut through.
Pull the jersey so the strips become like string. Then follow the same instructions like I did here to sew to a tshirt. I just did one strip down the middle on this one instead of attaching the trim edges in the middle.
Now that I showed you how to make fringe, you can sew this in the front or back of shirts. Follow this tutorial here, but replace the lace doily for the fringe.
& I finally set up a twitter account so you can follow me @trashtocouture. I will try my best to keep up!

Gorgeous DIY! And the cotton jersey makes it a lot easier for me, because I don't own a sewing machine and would be freaked out trying to hand sew lace.

How did you do the arm hole????
ReplyDeleteI'm also curious about the armhole area! :)
ReplyDeleteI can not figure out the arm holes. Can you explain. This is so cool.
ReplyDeleteim making one right now and as far as the arm hole goes i just used a black t shirt and cut the sides so its already an arm shape and i just cut the slits in the fabric and pulled it to make strings as shown in the instructions above. hope that helps :)
