You will need...
I got the idea to do this when I was at victorious vintage, and I thought I would give it a go! It literally only took about 15 minutes to do and I love how it looks!
I love how you can personalise it to how you want it by using a different top/fabric to suit your style!
I think the photos are pretty self explanatory, let me know if you need any help!
I decided to leave the zigzag from the pinking scissors showing, but you could always make the square slightly larger and turn the sides in before you sew it.
If you were wondering, the floral fabric was off of one of my dad's old shirts from M&S (I don't think he ever wore it though, he's not really a floral type of guy!)
If you have a go please let me see the results!
I'm not sure if you noticed but I changed my header last night for a bit of a change, let me know what you think!
I also added a poll to my sidebar so that you can let me know what you want to see more of!
Thankyou for reading, have a lovely day ♥
I just love this, you really can turn the blackest outfit colorful with this! It has been a while since I looked on your blog so I don't know if it's really new but I lovee your lay-out! :)

Awesome DIY! I might do something similar,a good DIY I advise is making a collar. What I do is cut of the collar of one of my dads work shirts and either sow in pearls or studs. Lovely post. Love your new blog layout :).
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! I just did a tutorial on adding floral to your shorts pocket & this would be a perfect top to match! Love this!

I love this idea, it's so simple yet so effective, and a great way to liven up an old, boring t-shirt! I've been really wanting to do some DIY stuff with my clothes, but as I'm rather clumsy at sewing, I've been putting it off so as not to ruin any clothes! This seems like a great place to start though :)
