DIY Turtleneck Halter Top

Hey! I'm back! and with a video! I decided to change up the pink turtleneck I bought recently (from my last haul). As you can guess from the title, I made a Halter top out of it! If you want to see how I did it, go on and check it out on my youtube here!

Dress Transformation: Fitted V-neck Shirt

BEFORE 

 AFTER

This dress was bought a while back at the Salvation Army and I didn't' know what to do with it so I experimented and this happened!

So the first thing I did was just cut the dress apart. I separated the back from the front and the back was two pieces so I separated those too.
After doing that, I folded the front piece of the dress in half, right sides inside.

I used a fitted crop top as my template and traced it.

Using the piece I just cut out, I fold it in half again and used it to make my back piece. (sorry it's blurry!)

 Then I just cut it. If you're new to cutting fabric, I recommend you to use pins to hold the pieces together.

 I realized that I didn't need to cut the back pieces apart....and ended up messing up. I fixed it by simply rehemming the hem on the other side.

 After doing that, I sewed the back pieces together.

Placing the two pieces  right sides together, I sew down the shoulders and sides. 

Originally, I was going to make a mock-neck but i forgot to make a smaller neck so I went ahead and cut a V in the front. It's better to cut the V before you sew the front and back together but I realized too late that the mockneck wouldn't work.

 To make the V-neck, I fold the front in half and mark how low I want the V to go and simply traced a V up to the neck then cut it out.

After hemming, I cut out the extra fabric at the V-neck area.

You can leave it at this, or go on and make the straps for the V-neck. I just used the old straps on the dress.

I just the shirt and figured out where I wanted the straps and hand sewed them on. Easy as that! The shirt is now all doneee.

Finished look

DIY Flower Pocket Tee

I've been wanting to make this tee for a long time and I finally diddd. Keep reading if you want to learn how I made it!
Things you will need:

• Heat and Bond paper (i found mine at Walmart) or you can use transfer on paper if you're going to print your image.
• Plain T-shirt
• Graphic image of your choice (mine are just images from a shirt)
• Pocket fabric of your choice
• Iron for the Heat and Bond (if yours need it)
• Scissors
• Thread and Needle

Soo, what I did first was cut out the image and then put it on the heat and bond paper and basically followed the instructions that told me how to use the adhesive paper.

After doing that, I moved on to the pockets. I found a pocket template online and put my fabric on the screen and traced it on the wrong side of the fabric. 

After cutting the pocket out, I folded down the edges and just sewed them down for a cleaner look.

 After getting the image and pocket done, I put the shirt on and marked where the top of the pocket is going to sit. Since I wanted the flowers to stick up, I put the bottom of the flower stems on the line (shown below)

I ironed the image on and sewed the pocket down leaving the top open. This is how it looks like finished:

Moving on to the sleeves- I cut out two strips (one for each sleeve). The strip should be as long as the circumference of the sleeve and twice as wide as the width you want it to be.

I then used the adhesive paper to stick it to the sleeve.

Turning the shirt inside out, I ironed on the fabric to the INSIDE of the sleeve cover the seam line.

Finished on both sides:

 Turn the shirt right side out and fold in the sleeves.

It should look something like this. Fold down the white part above the fabric and sew down for a cleaner look. After doing that to both sides, the shirt is finished!
