T-Shirt Re-vamp

November 10, 2008 by Deanna

My daughter was getting rid of this black and gray tee that she felt was too big for her, so I decided to see what I could do with it. I found some great tutorials on revamping tees online and looked through them and decided to try one of them.

Here is how I reconstructed my daughters old tee:

  1. Cut off the sleeves.
  2. Cut the neck into a V or U shape.
  3. Cut the back into a V or U shape.
  4. Cut the bottom hem off all the way around the t-shirt.
  5. Cut all the way up both sides.
  6. Starting at the bottom, every two inches up the side, cut into the t-shirt 3 inches, ending at the armpit. Do this on both sides.
  7. After you have all the pieces cut, start tying them together in knots all the way down the shirt.

Instrucatbales.com and diyfashion.about.com have some great t-shirt surgery ideas.
