Turn a boxy promotional t-shirt into a fitted shirt that someone would actually wear.
1)
Trim off the sleeves and neckline. Cut the shoulders apart. If
reusing the neck ribbing, carefully pick apart the neckline stitching.
2)
Fold the t-shirt along the center front and back. Lay the pattern
pieces on the shirt and cut out the new shirt pieces. Take advantage of
the pre-hemmed fabric, if you can.
3)
Attach sleeves made from the reclaimed sleeves, or use a small amount
of contrast material as I did here. Reattach the neckline ribbing and
hem (if you didn't preserve the hem as I did above).
In
2012, I've remade about a dozen t-shirts into various other wearable
objects, mostly for children. And they are getting worn judging by the
cute photos sent to my email inbox.
