White-collar

Who is the boss here? Of course, you! Divide the shirt into parts and fold them again!

The secret of success
The avant-garde dress is made up of a blazer and a shirt.
YOU WILL NEED: a man’s shirt, blazer, scissors, sewing thread.
HOW TO MAKE: fasten the shirt on all buttons and lay flat on the surface. Cut 40 cm from the bottom edge. Neaten the cut and iron 1 cm on the front side. Mark the line of the middle of the back. Press the ironed upper edge of the bottom of the shirt onto the bottom of the blazer, leaving approx. 20 cm shirts. Sew by hand.
Sleeve length does not matter!
Original - a bracelet in the form of a cuff from a shirt!
YOU WILL NEED: white cotton fabric size. 30 x 40 cm, non-woven F 220. 1 decorative button. 1 flat button for the inside of the bracelet. 85 cm of decorative braid with rhinestones. Threads for sewing. Cigarette paper.


DISPLAY: copy the pattern of the bracelet from the photo at the top right, increase to the desired size (corresponding to the girth of the wrist). Copy the pattern onto tissue paper folded in half (the fold line is indicated by a dotted line). Move the label for the loop to the inside. Cut the part and place it in one layer.
Now cut 2 pieces of fabric and gaskets with 1 cm allowances. Press the gasket onto the wrong side of the fabric parts.
Tailoring: Stitch the cuff details face to face, leave a 5 cm long inversion hole in the seam. Cut allowances close to the seam.Unscrew the cuff, iron the edges. Sew the hole in the seam manually. At both ends of the cuff, mark the loop. Sew decorative tape with rhinestones at the edges of the cuff. Fold the cuff so that the loops fit exactly, iron the bends. Sew the buttons with each other using a fastener and fasten the cuff on them.

Clove decor
Buttoned up? This is awesome! Such a separate collar will make an office even an ordinary T-shirt.




You will need
Men's shirt, cutting knife, sewing thread. Decorative braid with small cloves on one edge, black, 1 cm wide, lighter.
Step 1
Using a knife, carefully open the collar from the shirt. Align the collar parts along the outer contour.
Step 2
Cut the braid according to the length of the edges of the collar. To prevent the ends of the braid from “opening up”, burn them with a lighter.
Step 3
Gently tape between the two collar parts around the collar. Stitch the collar around to the edge.
