Instructions

  1. Small  0000 step 002 1273847626

    Do you have a lot of extra Tshirts? Well this is the project for you!! Learn how to make a cute romper from 2 tshirts!!

  2. Small  0001 step 003 1273847664

    First You'll need 2 shirts. One Medium and the other XL, preferably 2 different colors. :)

  3. Small  0002 step 004 1273847698

    Cut the bottom of the med shirt right above the line, leaving a little space. Cut it in one place

  4. Small  0003 step 005 1273847744

    Take the strap and wrap it above your chest. Pinch and mark when it fits securely over your chest.

  5. Small  0004 step 006 1273847823

    Flip the strap on the wrong side and extend it into a straight line. Sew along the line and cut the excess

  6. Small  0005 step 007 1273847857

    Cut the XL shirt just like you did the medium. Do not cut it yet.

  7. Small  0006 step 008 1273847894

    Lay the strap flat and cut it directly in the center

  8. Small  0007 step 009 1273847917

    Take one half of the strap and wrap it around the middle of your thigh. Pinch and mark just like you did with the strap before.

  9. Small  0008 step 010 1273847957

    Line up the strap with the other strap and make the line directly under the other one so that they are both exactally the same. Sew along the straight line and cut the excess.

  10. Small  0009 step 011 1273847970

    Take the XL shirt and cut off the sleeves. They cut the shirt directly below the collar.

  11. Small  0010 step 012 1273847987

    Flip inside out and sew the armholes.

  12. Small  0011 step 013 1273848128

    Line up the strap you made from the medium and the part you just sewed from the XL shirt.

  13. Small  0012 step 014 1273848145

    Basically what you're going to do is fold the XL shirt so that it fits the width of the strap from the med shirt

  14. Small  0013 step 015 1273848175

    Pin the corners Note: YOU DO THIS TO ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE SHIRT, AT A TIME.

  15. Small  0014 step 016 1273848197

    Pin the center

  16. Small  0015 step 017 1273848274

    Then fold the shirt towards the end of the straps.

  17. Small  0016 step 018 1273848297

    sew along the line on the extra you gave yourself when you first cut it.

  18. Small  0017 step 019 1273848324

    Cut the medium shirt directly under the sleeves. then take that piece and cut it in half.

  19. Small  0018 step 020 1273848335

    Take the two halves from the XL shirt and line them up with the straps you made fromt he two halves of the XL shirt.

  20. Small  0019 step 021 1273848379

    THIS IS THE HARDEST PART. You're going to make a series of tiny folds that over lap each other. i used a LOT of pins for this part.

  21. Small  0020 step 022 1273848391

    it should look something like this when you're done.

  22. Small  0021 step 023 1273848411

    Place the two leg holes together. Pin the two corners together about 3 inches or so long. *EDIT* I've been informed the crotch isn't all that flattering. At this step you can sew as much or as little between the gap. when you do this tutorial, you'll find you have a LOT of fabric to work with

  23. Small  0022 step 024 1273848462

    place the top and the two leg holes above eachother. NOTE: YOU MAY WANT TO TRY THE TOP ON AT THIS POINT. THE TOP MAY OR MAY NOT BE TOO LONG. I ended up cutting off about 3 or so inches off of mine.

  24. Small  0023 step 025 1273848490

    Now you're going to do the same thing. This can be pretty tricky. Make sure you connect the leg holes to the center of the top. Dont fold the top, just the leg holes.

  25. Small  0024 step 026 1273848539

    Fold larger folds til the widths fit. Sew straight across the folds.

  26. Small  0025 step 027 1273848578

    Flip it inside out and try it on. If it fits right, move on. If not, take a seam ripper to it and try to repleat.

  27. Small  0026 step 028 1273848621

    Cut the collar off of the medium shirt. Cut in one place. Most shirts have one place where they meet. You may hhave to seam rip apart the collar and the shirt.

  28. Small  0027 step 029 1273848639

    Take the collar and wrap it over your neck like a halter. Pin one side and pull the other over til it fits securely. Pin and sew a box stitch and cut the excess

  29. Small  0028 step 030 1273848736

    And now you should be done! :) If you have any questions or if something isn't clear enough, let me know!! :) I'll take detail photos if you need them.
