Make A T-Shirt Rock!!! No-Sew Style!

Once Upon A Time...

There was a Fierce Lady named Liz...




She was in need of a Fierce 
No-Sew Make Over 
for her Skinny Puppy T-Shirt!

Scissors to the Ready!!!

GOOOOOOOOOO!

Flat out on a surface 
don't care if its clean... 
ITS ROCK 'N' ROLL!!!!




Fold Front onto itself 
to evenly cut 
the front of the neckline....





Lay Flat 
to create a scoop in front 
& leave plenty in the back for 
SHOULDER STABILITY!




CUT that bottom hem OFF! 
You will need that Scrap so 
DON'T TOSS IT!!!
(see how I've cut the x-tra fab from the hem stitchin....;-)






OMG! 
GET RID OF THOSE NASTY SHORT SLEEVE HEMS!!!
ew!




Now that those GROSS hems are GONE!!! 
Find the middle of the back 
& fold it so the middle of the back is displayed 
& ready for cutting!




You can start at the Top 
or the Bottom...




Cut, Cut, Cut 
some BITCHIN SLITS! 
1 inches apart

the desired FX 
is a SHOULDER ENHANCER! 

The Bene here is 
it will give a Boxy Shirt 
a Sexy Curve 
w/o taking away the comfort 
of the looser shape ;-) 

Create an X-tra Flare with the peek-a-boo! 
Colorful/Patterned bras, tanks.... 
Layerrrrrs! 
YUM!

Now!
Shave off 
a TOTAL of  2" 
of the bulky shirt sleeves! 
ooooooooooo....




CUT SOME TINY HOLES FOR LACING!!!! 
1 inch intervals 
down the shoulder 
to the end of the sleeves!




SCRAPS FROM THE BOTTOM HEM! 
Yeah, we make the laces 
with this piece all stretched 
& ready to ROCK!




Wo0T! 
Lace it Like a criss-cross sneakery corset! 




Oooooooo...
Lets Try This BITCH ON!!!!

Yeah.




Wicked.




FIERCE! \m/




Yer old boxy T's 
are just sitting there 
BEGGING  You to do this!

.... and you know you wanna....




Try it, MAKE IT!

MAKE SOMETHING!!!!!

XOXO
