Men's shirts are an excellent material for creativity. A lot of useful and interesting things can be made from them. The main thing is to have a desire to sew and imagine.
There are many great ideas on how to transform men's shirts into women's blouses, and they look fashionable and cute. You can also sew aprons.
In addition to things, the shirt is suitable for creating useful accessories for the home. Today I will show you 2 original ideas.
Oversleeves
Sleeve sleeves are needed to prevent stains on the sleeves. Previously, they were worn by sellers, accountants, and in the trade sector, oversleeves were worn by sellers of meat, fish, and pickles. I remember how at school everyone had armbands made of black satin, with elastic on both sides, and they wore them out to holes in the elbows.
Nowadays you rarely see this thing, but nevertheless it is needed. For example, when you do dirty work in the garden or vegetable garden. When repairing a car, sleeves are simply necessary, in construction, in the laboratory. There are many professions where you need to protect your sleeves while working.
1) It’s easy to sew sleeves from a shirt in just 5 minutes. To do this, you need to cut off the sleeves from the shirt; the length can be up to the elbow or much higher.
2) Then fold the cut into 2 folds and stitch. Insert an elastic band into the resulting drawstring.
3) Such armbands can be sewn not only for adults, but also for children.
Pillowcase:
- The shelves and back are useful for a pillow. You need to straighten the fabric and cut out a rectangle or square. My pillow is 40x50 cm, I will sew it with decorative “ears”. To do this, I added 5 cm on all sides. As a result, I cut out a rectangle 50x60 cm, which was just enough shirt fabric for me.
- I connected both parts with the right sides facing inward and stitched on 4 sides. She undid the button and turned the pillowcase inside out. I marked 4 cm from the edges, drew lines and stitched.
- The pillowcase is ready, the fastener is already there, all the seams are hidden inside.
Instead of one unnecessary shirt, we got two useful things for the home.
