Default Re: Inexpensive Shirts

I have fun with t - shirts.

First I dye them any color I want. Then I cut the hem off. Stretch this to high heaven. Then cut it in half. Sew it down one side of the length. Then invert it. This is my belt to tie around me. Then I hem the bottom of the shirt. This is a pretty look.

Or I do Latticing around the neck and sleeves.

Or I do laticing around the neck, sleeves, and bottom.

I also cut around the crew neck, and over to the arm hole. Remove excess. Pretty tank top.

I also cut the first seam off the neck of sweat shirts. Then I have just the one left. Nice look.

I take a plain T - shirt, and sew on an applique. Then I make pants to match with the same applique.

I also take a colored t - shirt, and cut holes along the sides. Then I cut 2- 1'' wide strips off the bottom. Sew the seams closed. Then lace up the sides with these.

I change shirts to so many pretty looks. These are all cheap shirts to begin with. But boy when I finish. Wow!

I also take a cheap sleeveless tee shirt, or a short sleeve, and make them look like suede. So pretty.

Or I'll cuff my t- shirts, and shorts to match.

I get a lot of looks when I go out. Like where did you find your clothes. It's enjoyable for me.

I've taken long sleeve thermal t - shirts, and made cute little dresses out of them for my girls.

Making changes like this is so much fun.

I've taken white sweat clothes, and dyed them. Then dyed my socks and sneakers to match. You should see the heads turn with those outfits.
