DIY Fashion – T-shirt Too Small? Think Again!

(Libbystory, 2014)
Recently, my friend asked me a question which I was very happy to answer. She said to me, “I have so many t-shirts hanging in my closet that are too small for me but I like them too much to give them away. What should I do?” Luckily to her advantage, I have been keeping up to date with the latest fashion trends and DIY Fashion and I was able to give her some helpful ideas.

A couple of her favourite t-shirts shrunk in the wash – an annoyance that all of us have to deal with that technology has yet to fix. If you are in the same situation as my friend, look no further! All you need is your favourite t-shirt and a couple pieces of crochet trim, fashion trends that never seem to go out of style. Cut the sleeves off of the t-shirt, and then sew the right sides together, front to back. Then, choose where you want the armhole to go and pin it. Top stitch the new side seam, leaving the armhole open. Repeat on the other side. Now that you know how to do it yourself, go and refashion those t-shirts so you can start wearing them again.
