You Will Need
-
Step 1* cut the back of the t-shirt in the middle, leaving about 3" at the top uncut
* round the edges (optional, the original doesn't have round edges) -
Step 2* cut a piece of black mesh in a sort of triangular shape with a round base (the two extra parts sticking out at the bottom won't be necessary if you don't round the edges)
* place the mesh inside the shirt and pin the sides onto the side of the cut
* trim the excess mesh underneath
* make a bow and pin it with a safety pin (so you can easily remove it to wash your shirt) -
Step 3... and there it is :) side by side with the expensive original!
This is my most "famous" project on my blog with about 300,000 views!
I sewed with a straight stitch with my sewing machine, the secret is all into finding the right tension, so I suggest to make some trials with the mesh on a scrap piece of t-shirt fabric! ENJOY xox, d.
