Do you have a boring old T-shirt that desperately need a face lift?? Try this out for a new look... :-)

Note:
I have posted this in the Hurriecane contest too.
I am a day care mom who is working full time,and do not have enough time for my sewing and crafting work which I love it very much.If ever I win the laser cutter I will give up my full time job or reduce it to a couple of hours(because I do a lot of craft work with the kids and they will be dissapointed to see me no more)and start my own business at home as I have enough and more sewing orders which I can not do it on time.Every instructable I do with the help of the laser cutter,I will definetly post it on this great site.

Materials Needed

Old T shirt
Sewing Scissors
Sequins -Colour of your choice
Threads to match the sequins
Needle
Marking chalk
Measuring Tape/Ruler
Unpicker (not included)
Sewing Machine (Not included)

Lets Start Cutting

Place T shirt flat on the table and cut the hem away.

From bottom take about 28-30 cm high and draw a line with a light coloured chalk.Depends on how high you want the cut.You can take it even higher.I marked up to my waist line.

Cut! Cut! Cut!

Cut in stripes with 2.5 -3 cm spacing

Pull! Pull! Pull!

Pull and stretch the strips

I wanted a bit longer sleeves ,so I removed the hem.If you don't want it ,then cut it off .

Same as in step 4 just cut in strips with 2.5-3cm spacing.

Same as in step 5 pull and stretch the strips

Oooops Sorry about the change of colour. taken from my phone as I was at work.

Do the knots.If you insert a medium size bead before you do the knots it will be nice.
Once you do the knots the sleeves become a little short,so it is up to your choice.

Draw your preferred design on your T shirt... I drew two hearts :)

Sew the sequins around, if you want you can fill the heart with sequins.

I sewed two little hearts on one sleeve too.....

TAN -TA DAAAA !!!
