this weekend i went through the donation stack in my closet, and decided to revive those items by making my summer wardrobe out of them! i have had this long sleeve tee from forever 21 FOREVER! and hadn't worn it, simply because i didn't like it. so of course, i decided to refashion it!
here's what you need:
a long sleeve tee
pins
scissors
a sewing machine (or you can stitch it by hand)
start by laying your tee down, and cutting off the sleeves. i layed one of my favorite short sleeve tees over it, to help me with the sleeve length.
after that, cut open the sleeves, and remove trim away all of the seams.
then lay your first sleeve on the shirt, and start creating your folds... this is the fun part! just keep folding and pinching until you reach your desired look!
do the same thing with the second sleeve!
then pin all of those folds in place... this is very important!
then stitch randomly back and forth with your machine until all of the folds are in place! i used a contrasting thread to add a little more texture and artsiness to the shirt (or because i didn't have matching thread)... hehe :) you are done! i love the way it turned out!
