T-Shirt #1
First, I cut out around the V-neck of the shirt, chopped the sleeves shorter and took in the sides to make the shape more feminine.
(It was a men's small)
T-Shirt #2
This was a crew neck men's XL. I used it to cut 65 double layered 1-1.5 inch circles. (Not perfect circles)
Then, I doubled up the circles ant pinned them on the T-shirt #1 where I wanted them.
Last, I sewed them all on using a zig zag stitch on my sewing machine.
This part took the longest.
I had been searching for something like this and was disappointed not to find it anywhere that wasn't ridiculously expensive. So what do you do when you can't find that missing link to your wardrobe? Make it your self! I love rocking this shirt with a pencil skirt or even jeans... or shorts or...
Fabulous Fablous Fabulous. Simply Fabulous. I might have to reblog this over at my blog. Email me if you would like to do a fashion feature to Friday begining in Sept

That is so beautiful!! I love it! I can't wait to try it on one of my shirts! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I love it! I made a top very similar to yours. I think maybe next time I find some time, I will attempt to copy you :) I love how you added circles on the shoulders! It's a very nice touch! Love it!
ReplyDelete**Question: Did you just stick the circles in twos and zig-zagged stitch all the circles right down the middle?**

This is a great idea, especially for plus-sized women who sew..I'm not one of them, but love the idea of it, so maybe I can talk someone into it for me..also would be nice to vary the shape of the neck, say, an oval, rather than vee front..?
ReplyDeletethanks!
that is fantastic! i must make one.
ReplyDeletewow! I love it! I am going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteBorn To Be Styled
I wanted to share this, this weekend my daughter had a dance comp. in Michigan. A dancer came out for a solo and made this shirt and wore it for her solo. She made it longer with slits up the sides, it was perfect! Keep up the great work ladies!
ReplyDeleteI loved this idea! Here is the shirt I made from your tutorial, I think I might have made my circles a little too small or just perhaps sewed the circles to close together. I still love it though! P.S. I couldn't get a photo to post but if you go here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150160492158570&set=a.133700333569.108785.579873569&theater you can take a peek! Thanks for the tutorials!
ReplyDeleteVery creative and very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and soooooo easy! Thank you
ReplyDeletelove it love it love it. Hope I make me one . Thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteIs there a particular reason why you cut the first T-shirt? Couldn't you have just sewn the circles around the original V-neck?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a GREAT idea and will try it as soon as I finish all my other projects! ;)
you totally dont need to chop the neck of your shirt if you dont want to... we are just so fond of that deconstructed look... send us a picture when you get it done!

Just yesteday i brought T-shirts at the dallar store to do the same thing,only i plan to put ruffles o mine.I made all my clothes,self taught.Good with making clothes but not good with computers so i do not know how to show you.
ReplyDeleteHow cute this is. I wear t-shirts all the time for work, I can't wait to walk in with this shirt on me. Thanks !!!
ReplyDeletelove this- maybe ad buttons to the center of each flower
ReplyDeleteThat is real cute. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWonder how she finished the neck??? I can see where the second shirt was frayed where circles were cut out, so am not sure the circles won't fray too. I love this, though and will try to think of something tat will work but not fray. :) Any ideas???
ReplyDeletewe use jersey... totally doesnt fray! its like magic... you never need to hem it! probably my favorite fabric to work with... if you look super closely the top isnt frayed at all, its just where she cut some circles super close together and it left a bit of fabric... seriously try it, its super easy!
ReplyDelete~selina
awesome idea! i have even tried a cluster of seed beads in the center before for my girls...
ReplyDelete~selina
PS~Another tip: Once your creation is made lay it flat to dry and I always reshape the circles a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK!!
xoxo~Sophie
Love it! Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeletegreat, love the idea, you can also dye the tshirt in your favorite color!!
ReplyDeleteCan You imagine this in rainbow colors.........wow
ReplyDeletei have just discovered this blog---so excited!! i love t-shirt refashions and can't wait to try this circle one--65 circles though?!?! wow--but the effect is worth it! thanks for posting such fun and cheap tutorials!! I am a newbie so cutting up tees is so much less intimidating to me than regular fabric!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, feminine shirt. Love it! Looks so easy to make as well.....must give it a try.
ReplyDeleteadorable !!!
ReplyDeleteReally like this idea. Can recycle some of the tees in my closet also. This would and could be great with a nice pair of pants and shoes a very nice professional look. I am certainly going to try this.
ReplyDeleteI just love this and with the summer months ahead I will get the most use of the white one and a couple of others I will make. You sisters Rock. Thanks
