For this fashion DIY tutorial mode you need:
- a wide T-shirt
- scissors
- marker
- measuring tape
- safety pin and fixing pins
- rubber band (width about 1 cm)
- braid
- sewing needle and thread
The Fashion DIY Tutorial:
Draw the desired neckline with the marking pen on the T-shirt and cut it out with scissors. I wear size 36 and for the “Carmen” cut I took a men’s shirt (size M) and cut away approx 6 cm.
TIP: If you pull the cut edges in length with your fingers, you will save the seaming (see below).
Fix the braid with pins at the new neckline of the shirt and sew it on.
For the cute puff sleeves and the balloon-look of the shirt now you need the rubber band. Measure the circumference of your arm and your hips and cut rubber parts at the measured lengths. Now make small cuts (5 mm) at the insides of the sleeves and the hem and pull in the rubber band by using a safety pin. Finally, sew the rubber ends together.
And this is the completely spiced up T-shirt:
