I didn't wear any of them, and figured that make one shirt out of two un-used ones would be the right thing to do.
Wear the white sheer shirt, cut out the grey one just under the armholes, and wear it over the sheer one.
Pinned in place.
Take both off (and be careful with the pins!)
I used a saucer to trace the heart shape in the front, and cut a straight line for the sides and back.
Sew it all over.
Curt the excess sheer fabric underneath.
I had some tulle off white thin 1/4" tape (can't even remember why I bought this and when... I'm sure it happens to many of us...) and pinned it over and hand-stitched to give some extra texture.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I have a couple shirts I know would look great like this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute! I have way too many tshirts and this would dress them up. I also have a new sewing machine and a mother who would love if I learned how to use it! I am bookmarking this!
ReplyDeleteHey Donatella, I just had to come tell you that I did my first refashioning of a shirt! I just wanted you to see it, because you have totally inspired me to do it: http://www.meldreamsoften.com/2011/07/my-first-attempt-at-refashioning.html

Looks great. I'm having a party today and every Monday at http://diyhshp.blogspot.com Would love for you to stop by and link up this project and any other projects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, and the end result ends up looking romantic, instead of like 2 t-shirts. That's some great vision, crafty mama!

I love this! It's the corset look without the blue face. I have a few t-shirts this would work with, so thanks a bunch!
