Many girls have boring T-shirts in their wardrobe. I propose to remake such a T-shirt into a cute bolero, which is perfect for a summer sundress or top. Below are two options for rework: a simple one for beginners, and a more laborious one for experienced seamstresses.
It is necessary
- -T-shirt
- -satin ribbon
- -scissors
- -needle with thread
- -sewing machine
Instructions
Step 1
So, take a suitable T-shirt and cut the front of it from bottom to top exactly in the middle.
Step 2
Next, cut off the neck of the T-shirt and make a V-neck for it.
Step 3
Now we fold the raw edge by 1, 5 cm, outline and sew on a typewriter to make the edge hollow.
Step 4
Cut off a piece of about 1.5 meters long from the satin ribbon of a suitable color. Use a pin to thread the tape over the hollow edge.
Step 5
The edges of the ribbon can be fastened at the desired distance so that it does not "run away". Our bolero is ready!
Step 6
Now let's move on to the second option for converting a T-shirt into a bolero. Here you need to determine how long your bolero will be, measure and cut the T-shirt at this length.
Step 7
Now we cut off the neck of the T-shirt and make rounded shelves. Please note that the shelves should be symmetrical.
Step 8
The cropped bottom of the T-shirt should be cut into flats of the same width. It is desirable that their total length be approximately twice as long as the total length of the bolero along the outer edge, where the ruffles will be sewn.
Step 9
We fold the edges of the strips sewn together by 5 mm twice and sew. Then we sew along the opposite edge and collect the fabric on a thread, evenly forming folds.
Step 10
We sweep the finished ruffle to the bolero, and then sew it on a typewriter along the edge.
Step 11
Then we iron everything well and make a decorative seam on the front side of the bolero. Done!
