Boring T-shirt to T-sexy
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

This is a project from 99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Trim, and Tie Your T-Shirt into Something Special by Faith Blakeney. If you want to re-design a boring t-shirt this is a great way to do it.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Lay out t-shirt flat. Cut along the bottom edge of the shirt so that it is rounded out at the edges (in the book this is called a hipster style).

    Also, cut the neck out of the shirt starting about 1 and a half inches from the shoulder seam. (See this photo for an example of what the top and bottom look like).

  2. Step 2

    Flip the shirt over. Cut out a square out of the back of the shirt starting just below your shoulder blades. With square you cut out of the t-shirt cut into swirl starting on the edge and working your way into the middle of the shirt. It will end up as a long t-shirt string.

  3. Step 3

    Cut 4 slits on the sides of the cut out square on the back of the shirt. Take the t-shirt string and thread through holes on the sides of shirt, tie at the bottom. And, then you have your new sexy shirt :)

I made one but the part that was going to be the string got messed up so I used ribbon. I really like this idea, I never would have thought of it.

I love the final outcome of this project, however the second step is hard for me to follow. ):

Thanks for all the comments! I will try and explain better what I mean on step 2. You cut out a square on the bottom of the t-shirt and then cut along the edge working your way into the middle (like a swirl). Or, you could do what Tori said and use ribbon, I think the result would be the same :)
