In the house where men live, there are always old men's shirts that are out of use. It's a pity to throw it away - after all, they are still quite strong and beautiful, but no one will definitely wear them. And what if you give them a second life, creating new functional things with your own hands and thus unloading the perennial blockages in the closet?
It is necessary
- - men's shirt;
- - scissors;
- - braid, needle, thread.
Instructions
Step 1
An old men's shirt will make a nice and original decorative pillowcase for a pillow. It is not difficult to make it. First you need to determine what to do with the sleeves: you can cut them off and sew on the armholes from the inside, you can tuck the sleeves inward, then carefully distribute them along the pillow, or you can tie the sleeves with a decorative knot in front or behind the pillow - there is room for imagination. Next, you need to button up the shirt with all the buttons, turn it inside out and sew the bottom edge, thus connecting the back and the shelves. Unbutton a few top buttons, turn the resulting pillowcase on the front side and put it on the pillow. Sew up the top of the pillowcase with a collar with a thread by hand, attach a decorative bow-tie from a ribbon of a matching color.
Step 2
A men's shirt easily transforms into a stylish women's blouse! To do this, cut off the top of the collar from the shirt right along the seam - the result should be a stand-up collar that does not need any processing. Sleeves are also cut along the seams along the armholes. The blouse is ready! We put on, fasten the three upper buttons, and tie the lower parts of the shelves with a decorative knot on the stomach.
Step 3
Cut-off sleeves will also find their use: they make wonderful bags for storing dried fruits, mushrooms, herbs, etc. You need to turn the sleeves inside out, sew the lower part, turn it back - the bag is ready. Further, if you wish: you can simply tie it with braid, or you can make a drawstring by double-folding and stitching the material in a circle, and thread a beautiful lace through it.
