Weave it through, shirt

In my (Tori's) professional fashion opinion, I believe imperfection is perfect. A shirt with asymmetrical sleeves, a skirt with a bold zig-zag seam ... both scream "individuality". That is exactly what this shirt is. It is your individual twist on a sweater of your choice, and oh, so simple to make create.

What you'll need:

any type of shirt/sweater your little heart desires (mine is a Thrift Store find)

scissors

 a few strips of fabric

needle & thread

sewing machine (if you decide to hem the sleeves)

step 1: Cut off the collar of your shirt

Step 2:(optional) Fold shirt in half, and cut the sleeves to the length you love.

Now, here comes the part where you make it your own. 

Step 3: Pinch your shirt, take the scissors and cut a little slit in the shirt. Continue to cut slits into the desired design. 

Step 4: Take your favorite fabric and cut a thin strip (you may need a few strips depending on your design, I used two)

Step 5: Take your fabric strip and weave it through the slits in your shirt.

Step 6:Take a needle and thread. Stitch the ends of each piece of fabric.

Waaaaa-la! There is your simple weave it through, shirt! 

Note: If you want to hem the sleeves, now is the point in which you would break out the ol' sewing machine and hem away. I left mine with a fraying look, more of that "individuality" I love so much.
