I Hate T-Shirts

Yay a craft post.

Yesterday when my closet collapsed I found some t-shirts that I no longer wear (because they are a little tight) but I love the fabric, color, and design so I decided to upcycle them. So today I am doing a D.I.Y. turning old t-shirts into cute spaghetti straps with four cuts and two minutes of sewing.

This mod is sooo easy to do, I ended up modding five shirts for myself and one for my sis-in-law in 3 hours! Also this mod is great for those t-shirts that are just a little too tight because the shirts turn out a little more baggy than when they started.

To start choose an old t-shirt make 4 cuts:

1: Cut off the sleeves. Make sure to cut the seam off as well.

2: Cut a straight line just under the collar

3: Cut off the bottom of the shirt taking care to keep the seam it in tact.

Next, flip the shirt inside out. Fold a 1 inch flap at the top of the back and front and sew strait across.

The strap will be threaded through this so make sure to leave some room.

Now take the strap you cut off the bottom and cut it open on one end. Then attach a safety pin and thread it through itself turning it inside out.

Keep the safety pin on to use while you thread your new strap through the shirt.

To finish off the straps you can tie a bow or just sew the two pieces together and thread the knot into the shirt.

Viola cute tank top in ten minutes!

A few of the other shirts I made.

No part left behind, I used the seams from the sleeves I cut off to make a bracelet.
