I decided to add more oomph to a plain black tee by giving it contrasting sleeves. Since stripes are my favorite print, I used the sleeves from this striped top. If I know I'm not going to wear something more than once, I refashion a refashion. :-)
Supplies:
two shirts
pins
sewing machine
seam ripper
- Remove the sleeves from both shirts using the seam ripper.
- Pin the printed sleeve to the solid shirt. Make sure right sides are facing each other.
- Sew around the armhole. Do the same to other side.
- You can leave edges as is, or use a zig zag stitch to have cleaner edges.
What color and print would you use for your contrasting sleeve shirt?
Outfit Details:
thrifted jeans | sneakers Converse

ReplyDeleteLove the colorblock stripes!! My weakness is navy and red stripes, so I'd be interested to see what that would look like! I love that you did this - and your green bottoms were made for you! Carylee | morepiecesofme.com

ReplyDeleteI like the black and white stripes, first I thought about red and white stripes but then it would be like "Where's Waldo" - lol Happy Hump Day Wednesday - hopped over from WIWW.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The red and white stripes can still work with another color such as navy. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi. Stripes are really in right now so I think I would also chose stripes. I love your coloured jeans. I have a blue pair very similar. I'm now following you on bloglovin. I will leave my link in case you're interested.
