The easiest fix? Take in the sides! I flipped it inside out and pinned up the sides.
And then I chopped off the extra fabric.
Yeah, it just that easy!
Wanna see it again? OK, sure. Take one too-big shirt...
Flip it inside out and sew up the sides and sleeves, if applicable...
Trim the excess (you'll also note that, whenever possible, I salvage and reattach the laundering tag, just in case).
And you're done!
I did this to several more tees on that therapeutic Saturday, but seeing as how all the before and afters would be essentially the same, I won't bore you. Suffice to say, I regained a good chunk of last summer's wardrobe in the span of a few hours.
Hi! so did you use a strait stich? or zig zag? did you finish up yhe seams?
ReplyDeleteJust a straight stitch and no finishing since jersey fabric doesn't really fray. That's why this was so simple!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing on the Refashion Co-op.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great and easy way to make some loved blouses and tops wearable and flattering again. :-)

ReplyDeleteThey look great! I have a few t-shirts I need to do this to, but I've always been too lazy to do it! :) Lisa
