A No Sew T-Shirt Transformation

Hi there fellow Crafty People. Welcome to my little blog. 

Today I want to share something with you that I have been wanting to try for a long time. It's also something that my youngest daughter, Christina wanted me to try.

It's a no sew t-shirt transformation!

T-Shirt Cutting

It is a no sew t-shirt transformation. It's an easy and fun project to do. 

Materials

• One t-shirt with long sleeves
• Sharp scissors for cutting fabric
• Ruler or measuring tape and chalk if you want to be precise 

Directions For Long Sleeve T

At this point I have already lined up the

sleeves, cut through all four layers and

pulled the sliced material tight. I should

have taken three pictures here instead 

of this ONE.

1.)  Fold the T-Shirt in half, lining up the sleeves perfectly.

2.) Measure and mark the wideth of each slice in 3/4" increments on the upper part of the sleeve.

A another look at a sleeve. You can see

the loops better in this picture.

3.) Measure and mark the length of each slit.

4.)  Cut through all four layers of the two sleeves.

Or skip the measuring and marking and just eyeball it and cut through all four layers of the two sleeves like I did.

A pic for step 5. Sorry about the blurry

picture.  I need a new camera and a 

steadier hand. This  is the sleeve laying

flat just waiting to be worked on.

5.)  Open up sleeves and pull fabric tight.

6.)  Starting at the top, weave the first loop down into the loop directly below it.

And this is a pic for step 6. Starting

at the top of the sleeve, pull the first 

loop of material down and pull the 

second loop through the first loop.

7.) Continue all the

way down the sleeve

until you get to the

last loop.

8.)  I used crochet thread

to tie the last loop and the

end of the sleeve together. 

The knot is hidden on the

inside of the sleeve. It is 

tied to prevent the sleeve

from unraveling.

9.)  All done the first sleeve.

10.)  Repeat instructions for the other sleeve.

11.) And now you're done!


That was fun. I hope to do a few more in the up and coming weeks. There are so many ways to cut a t-shirt. If you would like to see more t-shirt transformations please click HERE.
