I am very excited to share this t-shirt venture with you guys at the moment! I got here up with the thought an entire month in the past whereas I used to be nonetheless on the ship and I did not have time to execute it till now. Now could be a humorous time, nonetheless, as a result of it is snowing like loopy right here (in Might!). I began this venture yesterday, and whereas I used to be engaged on it, I got here up with a enjoyable concept to take footage of it exterior within the sunshine. I wished to let the glue dry in a single day earlier than I took these footage, although, and man was I stunned after I woke as much as a winter (spring?) wonderland this morning! I took some footage exterior anyway, only for enjoyable. All you’ll want to make these bow sleeves are a t-shirt, a pair of scissors, some machine cleanable glue (I used E6000), measuring tape, and about 10 minutes of your time. Listed below are the instructions: 1. Reduce a 2.5 inch slit from the highest of the shoulder down towards the armpit on each the entrance and the again of the sleeve, ensuring that you’re reducing on the skin of the seam. (This implies your whole slit size might be 5 inches.) As soon as you have completed that, there is a risk that the shoulder seam may grasp exterior the shirt, like it’s within the image. To keep away from this, I reduce the unpleasant seam off of the shirt within the space the place it was seen. If yours would not hang around, there isn’t any want to chop it off. Repeat this course of on the opposite sleeve as properly. 2. Rigorously reduce off the very backside of the shirt, beneath the seam stitching. Save this strip of material for step 3. You will be utilizing it to make the middle of the bow. 3. The strip of material from step 2 might be folded in half. Unfold it and reduce out two 2.5 inch strips. 4. Use your fingers to pinch the middle of one of many sleeves. 5. Wrap one of many strips from step 3 across the sleeve the place you pinched it. Put a dab of glue on the top of the strip, the place the star is within the image. 6. Fold the opposite finish of the strip over the glue in order that the strip turns into a round band across the sleeve. Pinch it tightly between your fingers to ensure that the glue is safe. Repeat steps 3 by 6 on the opposite sleeve. Let the glue dry earlier than making an attempt in your new creation! I like my new shirt and I hope you want yours as properly. I am unable to watch for the climate to heat up once more so I can put on it with out the vest… Blissful reducing! xoxo Laura
