43+ Ideas Diy Clothes For Teens No Sew Tank Tops #diy #clothes Supplies: Wide shirt/sleeveless 1 yard fabric. Pattern here Where we currently live it’s warm year round so summer DIYs are still on my mind… I love my diy twisted tee and wanted to do one that was horizontal. This effect is so simple and transforms your old tshirts into an interesting twist. You can get the pattern here and use your own fabric. Choose something like a light jersey. You will need to finish your edges 1/4in over so add a hem allowance to the pattern. I serged just the back edges with a rolled hem. I used a double needle for the arm hole edges and bottom front hem. I then finished the top, front collar with binding. DIY: If you used a shirt you will want a wide shirt that isn’t very long. I made the pattern, but you can easily do this by using a sleeveless shirt. Here is a really quick video of the twist… If you’re using the pattern connect the pieces together using tape. The letters, numbers, and notches should add up like a puzzle. You will need to cut both front and back on the fold. When printing out the pattern print actual size. Tip, use the selvage edge as the bottom hem. Mine had an interesting fringe detail I liked. Place the pattern on the fold and cut. I used my rotary cutter and clover mat. I added the seam allowance when I cut. This takes practice though. Do the same for the back. Cut a 1.5 inch strip x the length of the collar line for binding. Fold the strip in half right sides out and then pin along the collar line and sew them right sides together with an overlock machine. If you don’t have an overlock machine use the link below to do a machine binding. Press and use a double needle and top stitch the binding flat as shown here. For the back I used my overlock machine and did a rolled hem. you simple fold over the edge 1/4 inch and sew, then fold over again 1/4 inch and sew into place. Now twist the back piece over so the shoulders meet at the top. Place them right sides together and make sure to pin into place. Then sew side and shoulder seams. Finish the arm holes using a double needle. You can see my post on how to finish your edges professionally here. Front and back of a gold version I made. I used the selvaged edge for the hem because I liked the interesting fringe detail. I added sleeves to the stripe version. SaveSave
