Pirate SleevesCutting: T-Shirt Underwear. I know you've got them, lurking in drawers, the back of the closet, in the "giveaway" pile: those T-shirts that are, for various reasons, both unwearable and indispensable.
They are too small, too big, too short, have a stain, a hole, or some other flaw, and yet you cannot bear to part with them. I took my old t-shirts and gave them new life. They were reincarnated as underwear. The Concept My first pair came about because of an ill-shapen tee with a great air-brushed-style kitty face on the front. Late one night I was folding laundry. It's true that, as an undergarment, not many people will ever see this creation. Check out the pattern PDF. Select a shirt Find a clean (if you care) shirt that strikes your fancy. Sew the major seams SEW THE MAJOR SEAMS First take your crotch piece, and hem the wider end, folding the edge over either once or twice.
Fold crotch piece around to the front, so that it lines up nicely with the front section, and pin it in place. Try it on prep the edges. Sewing tutorial: Sew a 90 minute beach cover up. (Warning: Lengthy post with many photos follows) Ditch the t-shirt this summer in favor of a bit of glamour with this oversized beach cover-up.
The inspiration for this cover up came from a Neiman Marcus mailing. When I saw this black polyester caftan my first thought was “oh, how cute” followed by “I can sew that for a lot less than $120!” You can too. Why spend big bucks when you can sew one that's unique to you in 90 minutes or less? Sizing: One size fits most.The length of the cover up is approximately 36".The width of the cover up is approximately 78" at the bust and 58" at the hem.Pattern can easily be made larger or smaller.Materials:2 yards fabric.
If you draw directly onto the fabric, make sure your fabric is folded in half before you begin.
