Working with fabric and sewing something is so much fun but sometimes can get aggravating if you are still getting the hand of it. Reviving an old favourite t-shirt or tank top can be a breeze. There are plenty on "no sew" techniques to making a perfect top for the nice weather. It's been too long and cold a winter here in Ontario for my liking. It just turned to spring and I'm anxiously waiting the heat and thinking about ways to beat it. I really enjoyed doing my Loop Swoop & Pull T-Shirt DIY and decided I would try my luck at it one more time. You can find the tutorial I used here!
Difficulty: 2 out of 5
Duration: 30 mins
Materials
- scissors
- oversized tank top
- ruler
- chalk
Here are my results!
Step 1. Decide how high you want your shirt to be cut. I'd suggest trying it on and making a mark with chalk or soap to keep your fabric strips aligned
Step 2. Cut off the hem at the bottom of the shirt
Step 3. Measure pieces 1/2" or 1" away from one another so you have an even number to pieces
Step 4. Knot neighbouring strands of fabric
Final Result!
Lessons Learned/Tips:
- Use a tank top that at least comes 6 inches below your belly button
- Great for wearing with crop tops!
- Stiffer fabric would show knot details better and keep its shape
