Creating an old T-shirt you don't wear anymore or even a shirt you may see in the store is super easy following a few steps and is great for spring and summer time. Although it is simple, you do want to be a bit cautious when cutting and sewing ensuring not to cut the direct seem as well as not hurt or cut yourself in the process.
Step 1.) Grab your tools and materials.
- T-shirt
- Scissors
- Thread and sewing needle
- Iron ( optional )
Step 2.) Cutting
Lay out your shirt completely flat so you can get the best result, you can use an iron to make it more even. Find the seams on the sleeves of your shirt wear it has been sewn. CAREFULLY cut an inch away above the seam so you still have some fabric to work with after cut the sleeve completely off.
Step 3.) Sewing
Grab the inch of fabric you left from the sleeve and fold it inside. Take your sewing needle and re-sew the fabric back onto the original seam, this just insures you have a neat line that will look professionally made instead of it being rugged and choppy.
