Good Morning one and all and Welcome to It's a Creative World, Virginia here providing something a bit different on the craft front, I thought you might like a no sew project which is quick and fun to do, inspired by all the music festivals over the summer. My sister earlier in the year was off to the Download festival for the weekend and had within her possession a brand new rock t-shirt, not wanting it to look brand new or very much like a t-shirt we set too with only a pair of scissors to create this.
From the front you can see the sleeves have been removed and the neckline lowered, t-shirting tends to roll quite easily once cut, creating something of it's own naturally hem
This is how it started out and yes that is a sewing machine in the picture all ready to use only to find out it was completely unnecessary!
Once the sleeves are removed, you can start to see the t-shirt take shape!
There is a need to keep trying it on, particularly when reworking the neckline and the sleeves so that it falls right, but this is part of the fun of it!
The back was somewhat more elaborate, we cut straight up the middle and then cut along in strips, stretching the t-shirting as we went and then knotting the same, once my sister was happy with the knots we trimmed the excess t-shirting! Obviously you can cut away less from your t-shirt thus making an added garment underneath unnecessary, you can also add safety pins to the creation if you fancy.
So with simple supplies and half an hour you can have great fun with t-shirts!
Fab crazy result, from dull and standard to wild and striking. X
