A No Sew Long Sleeve T-Shirt Transformation

I'm so weird sometimes. I worked on this no sew sleeve transformation months ago then forgot about it. I found the pictures already transferred into a file on my computer called no sew sleeves. And I was like - oh yah. That's what I`ll post this week.

A No Sew Long Sleeve T-Shirt Transformation
Easy right? I don't know. I just had a hard time figuring out what to call this. What would be the best title to grab attention and best describe what I made. 

 First was it a DIY.  A refashion, transformation or reconstruction. No not a reconstruction. What about upcycle. Is this just a t-shirt or is it a long sleeve T.

 I know. I was over thinking it. I don't usually do that. Most times I find it pretty simple to title a blog post. I just call it  what it is. Plain and simple.

 So here is my DIY No Sew Long Sleeve T-shirt Transformation/Reconstruction/ Upcycled Project.

 First you'll need a long sleeve t-shirt. Or I guess you could also use a pair of yoga pants - any type of garment that won't fray when you cut it. 

I folded the sleeve- errr. What am I doing? 

Here are a few pictures showing you how to do the sleeves. But if you want detailed instructions hop on over to a previous post HERE. No need to write it up twice eh?

A No Sew Long Sleeve T-Shirt Transformation

Well there you have it. Pretty simple to do and awesome results. My beautiful daughter loves her shirt. One of her friends likes his pants done this way all the way up the outside edge of his pants. 

These pictures were taken in the early fall of last year. This t-shirt is in storage because it is way too small for her now. Her huge belly won't fit because she is 32 weeks into her pregnancy.

A No Sew Long Sleeve T-Shirt TransformationThat's right. I have a new grandson on his way. I can't wait to hug him and kiss him and play with him and love him.... Who knew I would love being a Grandma just as much as being a Mom. My little angels are what life is all about.

Another post done. And hopefully some inspiration for you to make your own

If not, perhaps you are motivated to harass those kids of yours to hurry up and give you some grandbabies (or look forward to your children being old enough to do it.)


I love to read your opinions and comments. It makes my day. 

Bye for now. 
Wishing you the best, Darlene

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas
