Ladies shirt refashion Tutorial

It’s time to raid the op shops or your grandma’s house to create this gorgeous simple shirt… or you that you can buy doily’s online.

suit able for any style of shirt, tank top etc. check your wardrobe, op shops, or the stores have fairly cheap blank clothing.

You will need

1 shirt

1 doily

 

HOW TO

1) Find the centre position on the back of your top and pin doily in place.

 

2) Sew around the outside where it has the most crochet stitches.

3) Turn inside out, pinch up the shirt layer only and snip an opening.

 

4) I use my applique duckbill scissors for this next part (shown below), and trim as close to the stitches as I can.



 

And you're DONE!

It's that SIMPLE!

 

 

not bad for a $4 shirt, right?

Sock Animals

Who knew there were so many animals you could create from a pair of SOCKS!
And many of the tutorials are free and easy to find online.

Here are just a few of the animals I have completed lately:

Who wouldn't love a rainbow monkey in a tutu?

The tutorial I used for this can be found at Web-Goddess, I love its step-per-page layout.

This mummy and baby dogs were made from this tutorial, found on Create Studio

The mummy dog only requires one of the socks in the pair, so I HAD to make a baby dog to go with it :)
I just used the same concept, making everything smaller scale, including cutting the body in half, along the length of the dog.



Next on my "Sock To Do List" is:
Dragon
Zebra
bunny
Hobby Horse
Owl
(Just to name a few other tutorials I have already come across)

So keep your eye out for those in future entries....
