Description

This idea was sorta based on something I saw online, but I made it fit better.

Instructions

  1. Small img 0338

    Lay out your shirt, and cut off like 5 or 6 inches off the bottom. Set this piece aside for later.

  2. Small img 0339

    Cut off the sleeves . . .

  3. Small img 0340

    Cut straight up both sides to the armhole . . .

  4. Small img 0341

    And cut the top off the shirt just under the neckband.

  5. Small img 0342

    Measure under your bust, cut that number in half, and center it over your shirt graphic. Cut a rectangle that wide, and as long as you'd like, out of the front piece of your shirt.

  6. Small img 0343

    With the back piece, straighten up the sides and cut to match the length of your front piece.

  7. Small img 0344

    Lay your front piece, face down, on your back piece, matching up the short sides, and sew both sides. This will make it a loop for now.

  8. Small img 0345

    Fold your loop in half, matching up the seams you just made, and cut open the longer back piece.

  9. Small img 0346

    Remember that bottom piece from the first step? Cut the loop open, and center it over your lower piece. Put right sides together, making sure to line up the raw edges. Sew from one side seam to the other.

    Now fold your top on half again, lining up those side seams. Cut through both layers, up to about an inch away from the seams. You're done!!

    Getting it on may take some practice. I recommend tying the second strip down under your bust, and the top strip over your bust. Then just continue the rest of the way!!

    I made some matching gloves, too! <3
