About
become a crafting revolutionary!
This Military Refashioned Tee is a design that is inspired by those military coats with majestic epaulettes on the shoulders. I have had this black tank for quite some time and wanted to add something to it. The “Air Force” iron-on patch is something that I added after getting the black tank top. But even with that, I never really had a real kick whenever I wear this tank. It was a very very plain and boring military tank top. But now that I have added the “epaulette” on one shoulder, I think I’m ready to become a revolutionary and show it to the rest of the world.

You Will Need
-
Step 1Get 2 pieces of knit fabric. I got mine from cutting off the bottom half of a ripped tank.
-
Step 2Cut the knit fabric into strips of about 1 cm wide.
-
Step 3Pull the ends of the strips so that it curls around breadth-wise as shown in the picture
-
Step 4Sew the strips around the joining seam of one of the shoulders of the tank. The strip can be sewn to the tank top at its midpoint or at 1/3 of its length. You can also try to vary the point where the strip is sewn to have a messier look. Don’t try to make everything too neat!
-
Step 5You should get a sizeable tuft of… fabric strips on one of your shoulders.
Grab some strips and tie them into braids to create greater volume and an even more interesting look to your DIY epaulette!
-
Step 6Get another strip of fabric of about 2cm wide and sew it around the other shoulder.
Viola! Get a beret and strut your stuff like Che Guevera.
