We all notice how bright and stylish an unusual thing looks in the image of a creative fashionista. Such an emphasis on clothes attracts the eyes of others and makes the image unique. It turns out that often the shocking novelty is created independently, and it looks as good as brand clothes. Take at least an ordinary T-shirt: it gives a lot of opportunities for design and can turn into a stylish trend.
How to make a t-shirt top?
What t-shirt will do?
You should start with what is available. Women's T-shirt can be found in every wardrobe: it is a versatile item that is popular in different outfits of the modern fashionista. If you approach the creation of fashionable clothes creatively, the result will please, and the product will become the pride of wardrobe.
The style depends on the choice of the woman: some like freedom, others like tight-fitting models. If there is a white knit T-shirt at home, it will be an ideal option for a creative experiment. This color is combined with any shades of color palette, so the finished product will be appropriate with different clothes.
However, if you want not just to practice, but to make a real masterpiece, it is better to buy a new T-shirt: the snow-white color of the new thing will win against the background of the product after repeated washings. It will give freshness and a certain luxury, while a yellowish tone may look sloppy.
White is not the only color: if there are items in other shades at home, they will do. Although there will already have to pick up the details of the ensemble and the top finish more carefully.
You should not worry if there is a print on the T-shirt - it's even better. This will make it possible to introduce eclectic, grunge notes into the conceived image, and in some cases create an outfit of romantic nature. With a skillful approach to the process, you can make a real masterpiece that will look stylish, fashionable and expensive.
What to look for?
Conventionally, all modifications can be divided into two categories: without sewing and with the participation of a sewing machine. The choice of decorative design is diverse and depends on the imagination, style and conceived image.
To make the new look beautiful, you need to take into account some of the nuances:
- a combination of simplicity, creativity and emphasis is welcomed;
- the glut of the image is unacceptable, its transformation into something shapeless;
- accessories should not outweigh textiles: it looks ugly;
- frank vulgarity is inadmissible, restrained sexuality is welcomed;
- In one product there can not be several accents: it will lose the creative;
- it is not necessary to decorate the model with an abundance of metal: textiles can not withstand the weight of accessories or tear from the sharp edges of the decor.
Ideas for remaking a regular T-shirt into a beautiful top.
The whole process depends on the skill and interests of the woman. Skilled craftswomen often carefully think through the cut, add new design elements. Inexperienced natures lack a pair of scissors' strokes: remove the sleeves, trim the bottom, experiment with cuts - all that is needed is for the boring product to become a fashionable novelty.
With the right approach, you can create a product that will be appropriate in a romantic, sporty, urban image, suitable not only for the beach, but also for the classic set.
No top
Perhaps this is one of the easiest ways to rework in the presence of a sewing machine. Such a T-shirt will be indispensable in the summer: open shoulders in the spotlight today.
To make the product look bright, you should dilute the model with an insert of a contrasting color (you can use another T-shirt or a knitted flap).
The procedure for turning shirts is not so complicated:
- Cutting the sleeves and the top, it is folded in such a way that the side seams of the product coincide.
- By applying a contrasting insert to the fold in front of the fold, taking into account the allowance, the excess fabric is cut off.
- It remains to assemble the parts on a typewriter, process the edges, wrap the top, gash it and insert a lace or elastic band.
Fashionable update is ready!
In the form of a shortened T-shirt
Crop top is quite simple:
- cutting off the sleeves, neck and bottom, you need to handle the edges, wrap the seam allowance on the seamy side and stitch on their typewriter, connecting the product with the top.
- it remains only to diversify the novelty with a bright accent. It can be anything: beads, buttons, sequins, rhinestones, beads, braid, ready-made fringe. It will be interesting to look lace sewn on the bottom. You can decorate the front of the stamping using the stamp and special paints on the fabric.
If you have a talent for drawing, this is a great opportunity to show it. In the course, you can use markers on fabric or acrylic paints. To add a zest, in addition to the pattern, you can make a volumetric appliqué, decorating the shirt with textile patches of chiffon or other airy fabric.
Beach style
This is the case when a free type T-shirt is useful for men with bright colors. For this style, suitable products with the effect of boiled or faded colors.
It is done as follows:
- T-shirt laid out on a flat surface, cut off the sleeves along the armholes and the top (just below the neck).
- The bottom remains unchanged: due to its length, the top will seem to be a beach dress with a factory-cut edge.
- The upper part of the front and back is folded inward and zaschivyvayut, then draw a cord into each blank. So, the laces will be tied at the sides.
- If you want one stitch, then after the neck is cut off, you need to make a cut at the back, processing the free edge.
Asymmetrical top
A beautiful model in which you can go at least where it will turn out from a short women's t-shirt (preferably a delicate shade).
To make the product look perfect, you can not do without pins.
Farther:
- Putting the thing on a flat surface, you need to draw an asymmetrical line from the shoulder on one side to the bottom of the armhole on the other, and then cut off the neck and one sleeve from above.
- Picking up a narrow ribbon to match the T-shirt, it is applied to the faded side (wrong side) from the wrong side of the future top and stitch to the base.
- Then the tape is turned on the face and sewn, leaving room for lace.
- Striking elastic lace, it is fastened with thread.
How to do without sewing?
If it seems that this is impossible, it is not so: an example of this is an excellent technique of cutting with scissors. The main thing is to use a high-quality cotton t-shirt, which will not crumble the edges. This technique loves monophonic things, as the pattern created with scissors will not be noticeable on a t-shirt with a print.
In some cases, with a skillful approach, you can combine a discreet print and cuts. However, you should not experiment with coloring throughout the product area. In this case, it is better to slightly change the cut.
With cuts
One of the most interesting and fast techniques for turning a t-shirt into the top. The first wave is the removal of the sleeves. This is what distinguishes a T-shirt from a T-shirt. After that, it remains to give vent to fantasy.
To make a crochet top, you need to trim the bottom so that the shirt is short. If a stylish design is conceived, it is better not to touch the bottom: a large length gives a lot of possibilities for decoration, and the treated edge looks neater.
In order not to subtilize a drawing, you need a sketch.You can take as a basis the finished pattern, but it is better to come up with your own: this is how the product will be unique, made in a single copy. The drawn pattern is applied to the base laid out on a flat surface, encircled with a pencil and cut out along the lines. On this basis, you can create an independent drawing (skull, angel wings, heart) or a decorative element (cut).
With bows
It is even easier to do this: trim the sleeves, fold the product so that the side seams coincide, make transverse cuts along the back. Having developed a product, it will be necessary only to tighten each two notches in the middle, forming a bow. You can use tape, contrasting lace or knitted flap.
If you want to add to the design, you can decorate the cuts with a small amount of rhinestones, gluing them to the hot melt glue.
Simple shirt
If the sleeves are single-cut T-shirts, they can be shortened, giving the product the appearance of T-shirts. Then cut the bottom to the desired length and cut it into the fringe. To make it more interesting, we can make weaving from the fringe, tying it together with each other by knots or fixing it with accessories.
If there is a lack of brightness, stickers, drawings and stripes are not excluded: modestly in the center, in front. It can be letters, lace inserts, applications.
With asymmetry and knots
T-shirt without a pattern with a regular neck is suitable. The product straightened on a flat plane, mark the cutting line from the shoulder on one side, and to the bottom of the armhole on the other. The second sleeve is cut off. It turns out a shirt with one shoulder. From the side where the armhole is located, several incisions are made, after cutting the side seam itself. Another cut is needed from the shoulder along the top line. Now it remains only to tie the resulting tails in knots - and the fashionable top is ready!
Fashionable cropped top do it yourself
Let's try to make a shocking novelty in two ways: only by the manual method and using a sewing machine.
Using scissors
For this style well suited t-shirt with a sports print or a simple inscription.
In order not to wrestle with how to make a beautiful line of the neck and armhole, you can use a ready-made T-shirt or wrestler.
Top is done like this:
- Lying the shirt on a flat surface, they put a t-shirt on it and draw the necessary lines.
- First, cut the neck (at the same time before and back), then the sleeves (along the marked lines). The cut sleeve is cut along the seam, then it needs to be spread out on a flat plane and cut several strips of a width not exceeding 2.5 cm, starting from the bottom of the sleeve.
- Taking the shirt and the first strip in your hands, you need to retreat from the shoulder seams about 7 cm and connecting the two straps together, tie a knot. Then, starting from this place and to the level of the armholes, the straps continue to braid, adding new strips cut from the sleeve.
New hit wardrobe ready!
With a sewing machine
For those who have time and want to make the original topic, the following method will do. To create a new thing, you will need a T-shirt itself (preferably with a low-key accent from the front) and sewing accessories.
- First you need to carefully unpick the sleeves and cut off the top right under the neck. The hems of the bottom are cut off the sleeves: these will be the top straps.
- After the edges have been machined and bent inward, they are stitched on a sewing machine. The made channels pass through the obtained straps, which interconnect and hide the joints under the fabric. Stylish, beautiful and gentle!
