Inspired by the Lanvin word necklaces from fall, this Love T-Shirt DIY is perfect for Valentines Day.
With delicate gold stitching in the background adding subtle detail and extra sparkle!
My inspiration and sketches to make this DIY Love T-shirt.
TOOLS & MATERIALS:
- Gold leather bolo
- T-Shirt
- Gold metallic thread
- Sewing needle
- Sewing machine
- Scissors
- Flexible curve
step 1
Layout your t-shirt on a flat surface and decide how you will cut your neck.
I used a flexible curve to help me get the right curve to cut my neckline.
Trace your curve with a pencil. When you are sure you have it the way you want it use your scissors to cut your neckline.
step 2
Thread your gold metallic thread through your sewing machine.
Using your sewing machine, carefully sew some swirls and curves onto your t-shirt.
You can do this freehand or lightly draw the shapes you want onto your t-shirt and follow those lines when sewing.
step 3
I drew the word love out on a piece of paper and then placed the piece of paper inside the t-shirt and traced it onto the shirt.
step 4
Use your sewing needle and your gold metallic thread to carefully and securely sew your gold cord onto your t-shirt, following your design.
The cord is a little stiff, so it is important to make sure you sew it on securely and firmly.
Continue sewing your gold cord onto your t-shirt until you have completed your word.
This is a project I made a few months ago for M & J Trimming’s Blogger Challenge, but I think it’s perfect and completely relevant right now with Valentine’s Day right around the coner. Be sure to share the love, not just on Valentine’s Day but everyday!
