I didn’t really plan to do a colour coordinated photo shoot, but it turned out that way. Great!!
Here is another easy and fun t-shirt upcycling idea. These are all ordinary tees that I have turned 90 degrees and made the neckline into the sleeve. The original sleeve ends up as a shoulder tie and waist tie. Fun project to do with those old tees. No sewing skills needed.
Modeled by the lovely Mary.
I wanted to experiment with some vest tops I had to hand as they didn’t really offer much of a look as they were. They had a string vest like netting on the top and a contrasting block colour underneath.
I started with some top stitching on machine and by hand and then cut out sections of the top layer to reveal the base layer.
This could easily be done by adding various bits of fabric on top of an ordinary top and then stitched and cut away. Maybe a button or two for good measures.
Have some t-shirts lying around that you don’t wear? Let loose with the scissors! Here are some upcycling experimentations in cutting, slashing, ripping, knotting and top stitching.
Easy DIY project, no sewing machine and not much sewing experience needed.
Do you have odd bits of broken jewellery lying in a drawer that you don’t want to get rid of because of sentimental reasons? Earrings, beads, pendants, chains all are usable in this project. I had some, glass charms, buttons, bits of chain, doll shoes and fabric that I used to make these little brooches.
All you have to buy is the brooch pin with holes in them. Then by stitching on or using wire, attach your old bits of jewellery that you want to use. The possibilities are endless!
