I had an old shirt that was stretched out and too big as well as having a stain. This idea came to me last night about what to do with it! I remembered in high school when people would cut up the sides of their shirts and tie it off to make it smaller. I decided to do this, but up the front so it wouldn't look too high school. Here is what I did!
Start with a regular shirt that is too big for you
I didn't cut right up the center, I cut more to the side because I liked it not centered
Then on both sides of the cut, cut slits about one inch long and a half an inch wide. These do not need to be exact at all.
NEXT. Start tying. If you have more slits on one side than the other, that is fine, just grab two at a time and tie with one from the other side.
When you are done it should look something like this!
A fun re-fashion for a boring shirt!
Wow, that does look really cute. I must admit I was a little skeptical about not sewing, and cutting things up, but it came out really good.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I recently lost weight so I have several too big tshirts that could work for this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great (and much more mature I might add) version of those tied-up shirts we all wore in high school. Maybe this is a good option for those shirts on the clearance racks that always happen to be too big. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh wow I absolutely love it!!!!! I want to have a go making one myself, does it count if you go out especially to buy a big shirt to do it??

what a GREAT idea! you are so creative! I have to tell you, hubby and I are foster parents to 4 teen girls and they jsut love love all your cute ideas. They are currently in the midst of the sweater bags and turning their old t shirts into cardigans. And I love that it keeps them busy and out of trouble ;)

OH' MY GOODNESS GIRL- I don't own a sewing machine, so I ADORE THIS IDEA. ITS SO DANG CUTE TOO. love it, must try it. WELL DONE! jen
ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest thing! It looks so elegant, I totally love it. Can't believe it's no sew - you are a crafty genius!
ReplyDeleteSuper-simple fashion statement. I saw something similar that a friend posted on facebook where a designer took to the streets in ?(New York, I think) and started cutting and knotting and twisting and turning various parts of jersey tops and vests. The results were very stylish but a little too 'young' to suit me. Your idea is great as the shirt still looks good to wear anywhere.
ReplyDeletethat is great! i love me some no sew since i can't sew to save my life. thanks for sharing!
