Hello Friends! Today we making a simple 'braided' T shirt, you don't even need a sewing machine for this project.
What you need:
Form fitting t-shirt
Sharp fabric scissors
Fabric marker
Ruler
1. Lay your t-shirt on a flat surface. Grab your ruler and your fabric marker and draw out your pattern. Our lines are 3/4" wide and 3" long (so 6" long in total, because the shirt is folded in half)
2. Grab you scissors and cut along the horizontal lines! I only cut the top line 1" in and the 2nd line 2" in, this makes it look like the pattern tapers towards the top of the rib cage.
5. Turn the shirt right-side-out and shake it out. Grab the second strip and tuck it behind and through the space over the 1st strip. Take the 3rd strip and tuck it behind and through the space over the 2nd strip. Repeat until you get down to the bottom. This is difficult to explain, but check out the photo here and figure it out! I have faith in you.
This is the 2nd strip woven behind the 1st strip. Now we will grab the 3rd and put it through the 2nd.
6. Once you get to the Bottom, you can either tie the last two pieces in a knot or sew it like I did!
Thanks Joshua for helping with this extra special Valentine's Day project :)
