DIY cut-out tee-shirts ✂
OK so here is what I worked on last week (before my computer’s hard drive crashed, and resurrected). Sorry it took so long before I publish it, I had to go through a lot of data transfer to be able to finish the video! SO! Today I bring you this simple but very stylish project, 3 ideas and patterns to resurrect your own shirts. I first cut-out my own tee-shirt in university a couple years back, my design was a cat’s paw (lol please don’t judge me!), then a few weeks ago I stumbled upon the very rad cross cut-out tee on the Nasty Gal store… and the rest is history. So, watch the video, download the patterns and go crazy with your scissors and enjoy every minute of it! Have fun and let me know how it turned out!!! xo Ari

24 juin 2012jersey knits like t-shirt fabric don’t fray, but they do stretch more easily. :)

27 juin 2012I love the idea .. now im trying to do one ribcage on my shirt .. but i cant believe that 14 inch are long enough when i want to do it on my t-shirt .
Should i do 18 inch ? or are 14 just perfect ?
Ari
28 juin 2012Oh good question!! I fit it on a 14″ pattern but if you are tall, maybe 18″ will look better :)
Ramsi
28 juin 2012You were right: it depends on how tall one is. In my case 16” were perfect :) Thank you for sharing your idea.. by the way this has been the first DIY i ever did so far..you ARE an inspiration. grettings from germany :)
Ari
29 juin 2012Yay thanks so much! Keep on DIY! :)
