T-Shirt Upcycle Pt 2 + Bonus Shirt

November 4, 2023 By Mary Peterson 6 Comments

Hello Everyone,

As promised, I have more t-shirt upcycling to share. This was just a basic T with a curved hem. I removed the sleeves and used the original hems to put on the new see through sleeves. This fabric was a nice see through chiffon with a random flower pattern. There was no way to match the sleeves so I just went with a random placement.

White is really difficult to photograph but I think you get the picture.
I used the original hem from the t-shirt to give weight to the sleeve hem. There is edge stitching on the hem and the armhole
Here is the woven version of this sleeve.
This was a man’s shirt and I added
the sleeves and cuffs.
Here is a close-up of the work on the sleeve. I edgestitched the armhole to add detail and used leftover fabric from the sleeves to make the cuffs
Since my photographer (my youngest son) has moved out, I have to make due with selfies🙂

I would love to hear what you think. Hope you are enjoying your November refashioning!

Much love to you all,

Mary, Thrifty Chic
