There are many ways to transform T-shirts, allowing craft enthusiasts who like clothing DIY to enjoy their creations. Below, the craft editor will introduce to you a tutorial on how to transform a T-shirt into a womens vest or tube top. The highlight is the back of the vest. Due to the hollow and woven design, the vest looks elegant and fashionable.
Materials for making hollow vest: Old T-shirts, chalk, scissors, needle and thread.
How to make a hollow vest:
1) Draw lines. Use chalk to draw the parts you want to cut off on the T-shirt. First, draw four vertical lines on the back, spaced 1 inch apart. Then draw a cutting line along the left and right armholes. When drawing the line, put on the T-shirt and draw in front of the mirror. You can ask a friend to help you.
2) Cut off the sleeves. Cut off the two sleeves along the drawn line. The left and right sleeves should be cut symmetrically, leaving the 1-inch wide neckline uncut.
3) Cut the shoulder straps. Cut two long slits along the two chalk lines on the back of the vest to create three straps on the back.
4) Hollow out. Cut multiple hollow slits with 1/2-inch intervals on the armholes (including the left and right shoulder straps). Do the same for the neckline and middle shoulder straps. The slits in the middle shoulder straps should gradually increase from top to bottom as the width of the shoulder straps increases. widen.
5) Knitting. Starting from the lowest fabric loop of the middle shoulder strap, weave up one loop after another, as shown in the picture, and secure it with a needle and thread after knitting to the last loop. The shoulder straps on both sides, the armholes, and the hollow seams on the collar are all woven.
6) Shoulder strap rosette. To enhance the decorative effect, use the scrap fabric you just cut to make a bow or other pretty flower knot and sew it to the lower end of one of the shoulder straps on the front of the vest. This completes the entire production of the hollow vest.
