Transformations of an old T-shirt
Unique and fashionable accessories, a beach tunic, an elegant top, or even a soft rug - you never know if you can come up with a little time, imagination, and the desire to experiment with an old T-shirt!
clothing
The same shirt - new style
A pair of scissors waves - the neckline is deepened, horizontal cuts are made on the back, and an original, almost weightless T-shirt for a hot summer is obtained.
Blouse
Only scissors and satin ribbons will be needed so that the wide T-shirt turns into a fitted blouse.
We cut small holes on the sides, insert ribbons into them, lace up - everything is ready, you can put on and go for a walk.
Top
Even a schoolgirl will be able to make a wonderful elegant top with fringe .
To do this, just cut the bottom of the shirt into ribbons of the same width. They can be left to hang freely, beads to decorate or tie with flirty bows.
Pareo
To this end, we cut off everything unnecessary: dense necklines, side seams.
We put the resulting rectangle with a hole in the center on ourselves, outline the contours of the armhole, bottom and the place of connection of parts on buttons or drawstring.
We will process the slices with a contrasting inlay or zigzag, but you can do without it.
Tip. Solid models can be painted with markers on the fabric, sew lace, applications, sparkles to them.
For the original decoration, we cut out circles from organza, tulle or any beautiful fabric, connect them with a button in the center - a flower is ready, the basis of a feminine and elegant print.
For a beloved pet
Share your clothes with your dog! Measure the distance from the neck to the tail, cut off the excess fabric and make holes for the front paws - you get a light autumn outfit.
To make the jumpsuit warmer, you will have to arm yourself with a needle, since you will need to sew on panties.
Accessories & Jewelry
Headdress
A T-shirt can be turned into an autumn hat, a bandana or a headband.
A bag
There are never many handbags! Bright t-shirts will be able to replenish their collection at no extra cost.
15 minutes, and we have a light summer model .
How? Sleeveless jackets are perfect.
Straps are ready-made handles . For the simplest option, you need to cut the bottom of the shirt on the fringe, and then tie the ribbons with each other.
Jewelry
There are two options for needlework:
- to impose ribbons cut from knitwear on previously existing jewelry;
- make a new one from scratch.
And in this case, it will be necessary to cut the knitwear into strips of different lengths, connect their ends to each other and mask using another tape, carabiner, wire.
The use of wooden beads, buttons, and beads will make the necklace even more elegant and memorable.
Interior items
Recently completed repairs, but there is no sense of novelty?
Once again, unnecessary things will come to the rescue. They make wonderful cozy and comfortable interior items.
Pillowcases
Each house has at least one sofa cushion that can be “dressed” in a pillowcase, recently used as bright clothing.
To do this, attach a pillow to the fabric, outline the contour and cut off the extra centimeters.
Then stitch three sides, with the fourth you can experiment: attach the ties or buttons, insert the zipper or Velcro.
Tip. To do without sewing, lay a cobweb between sections, iron with a hot iron. This will turn out a seamless version of the French pillowcase “with ears”.
Another idea: to the same pillowcase we sew on the edges of the bow-ties - we get a pillow-seat on a chair.
Toys
A t-shirt lying on a shelf can give joy to children. True, you will have to
Help If there is no foam rubber or sintepon, for stuffing, you can use leftovers from a T-shirt cut into small pieces.
Mat
Uncomplicated in the manufacture of and rug, which is sure to be chosen by a pet.
You can make it from the connected knitted stripes, wound for convenience in a ball.
Then we twist the pigtail out of the air loops from the resulting thread with your fingers or with a thick hook, twist it in a spiral and fasten it with ordinary sewing threads.
Useful tips for remaking an old T-shirt
- Before remaking things should be washed and ironed .
- Pay special attention to cutting: lay out clothes only on a solid and even surface.
- If you plan to grind parts, remember about allowances for seams . Just add 1-2 centimeters to your measurements.
Review the deposits in the cabinets, and they themselves will tell you what to turn them into: a lampshade for a table lamp, clothes for dolls, a kitchen apron, a fabric belt or a comfortable home dress.
Do not send forgotten things to the landfill: they, like fairy-tale heroes, are ready to make magical transformations for the sake of the owners.
