How do I cut a T-shirt?
Tilli is taking up the challenge and today presents four ways to customise your t-shirt in less than two, using just one accessory: the scissors.
Cut your t-shirt and turn it into a crop top
Whatever the cut of your t-shirt, by shortening its waist, you can make a crop top in seconds.
Be careful not to cut right through the pattern, if there is one. There would be no point.
You can also shorten the sleeves, if that lends itself better to the style of your crop top.
By keeping the cut raw, you'll get a nice curl in your fabric that will roll up slightly on itself.
For those who prefer finishings done right, you can use your machine and redo a nice hem. The choice is yours!
Cut the sleeves off your T-shirt
If you're not particularly keen on revealing your belly button, you can simply retuckle the sleeves of your t-shirt.
Extra-long short sleeves aren't too much in fashion any more, except for sportswear perhaps....
Go for a nice short flared cut.
You can even turn the sleeve inside out (right sides together) and stitch with two small stitches for an extra touch.
Give your T-shirt a bare back
There are lots of very pretty ways to cut the back of your t-shirt. Obviously, this will depend on how much of the back you want to show off.
But whether it's plunging or not, the bare back will bring a lot of style and femininity to your t-shirt.
Here, it will be wise to surface the edges to get a well-finished look and even hem it all the way through.
Take it easy, machine rounding is never easy.
Cut fringes out of your T-shirt
If you like bohemian style, you can cut frange directly from your t-shirt.
On the sleeves or bottom of your t-shirt, but also on the back or sides.
Fringes are a super-easy fashion detail and require very little, if any, Finishing.
