So for Angela's birthday this year, I decided to embrace my creative side and make a shirt I had seen on Alicia's instagram (can be seen worn here). I'm not even going to pretend I'm some kind of master seamstress, so with the help of my grandmother, her sewing machine and a few glasses of red wine, I had a finished product I was genuinely proud of (even though it was super basic and simple. My six year old niece could have probably produced the same thing).
P.S. I obviously had to make one for myself at the same time ;)
Grandma setting up the machine (since its been more than five years since I've used this puppy and I clearly forgot everything I was instructed to do)
Supplies: Fabric, measuring tap, scissors, black shirt, black thread and pins (also an iron, not pictured)
Step 1: Measure and cut the pocket out of your fabric.
Step 2: Fold over the top to create a seam at the (soon to be) opening of the pocket and sew it.
Step 3: Iron over the remaining three seams (makes it easier to pin and sew onto the shirt later)
Step 4: Pin pocket to the shirt in the position desired.
Step 5: Sew the remaining three seams onto the shirt.
Yes, grandma started the first seam for me on the first shirt. I needed some guidance...
Viola! A finished, simple cheetah print shirt.
