But girls often want to look more feminine even in sportswear. In this case, an ordinary men's T-shirt can be turned into a women's T-shirt! All you need to do is change the neckline, make the silhouette fitted, and narrow the sleeves.
Perhaps someone will say that there is no point in such manipulations, that now in the store you can easily buy a women’s T-shirt for any figure, but “alteration” is also an exciting hobby. And this often happens: my husband (brother, dad) was given a T-shirt, but it didn’t fit. It’s a shame to throw away a new thing and have no one to wear it. In this case, such “alterations” come to the rescue.
Auxiliary materials and mechanisms
To convert a men's T-shirt into a women's one you will need:
- scissors;
- threads to match the T-shirt;
- sewing machine;
- tailor's pins;
- remnant;
- needle.
Operating procedure
1. Try on the original version of the T-shirt, use a soap to mark the depth and shape of the future neckline.Here the cutout will be semicircular. It gives the image more femininity and looks more natural. Cut off the excess with sharp scissors.
2. The side seams will help change the silhouette. We perform them together with the seams of the sleeves. First, we outline the line of the future stitching with tailor's pins (or you can lay a basting with a needle). We start from the edge of the sleeve, follow through the armhole, and smoothly reduce the line to the side seam. If the T-shirt is wide at the hips, then the seam should be continued to the bottom of the product. After fitting, if you are satisfied with the result, cut off the excess and machine stitch it.
3. It remains to process the neck. In this case, both machine and hand stitching are suitable. In this case, a blind seam was used. For this we take a sharp needle and thread the size of the product.
Now let’s iron the product well, and our “remake” is ready!
As a result, after very simple manipulations, we got a more feminine version from a standard T-shirt with tapered sleeves and a fitted silhouette.
