Want to experiment something new this weekend? Try to make your own shirt by using your old stuffs. It’s easy to do and a great way to rejuvenate your wardrobe. Just grab some fabric scraps, contrasting threads and join us behind the sewing machine! It’s time to buck up our wardrobe with a little DIY.

You’ll have to prepare these things:

   • A pocket-sized piece of fabric
   • An iron
   • Pins
   • Other sewing notions

Step 1

Cut a pocket-sized square of a fun printed fabric (At least 15 cm). Fold in half and trim off the bottom corners with a curved snip. Open out and serge the edges.

After that, fold and press a 2 cm hem at the top edge then straight stitch in place.

Step 2

Tuck the pocket sides and bottom edges under with a 1 cm hem. Play with the corners until you get an even curve and press it all in place.

Then pin the pocket to your top wherever you like it best.  (Tip: try it on before you commit to the placement.)

Step 3

Stitch the pocket to your top, keeping your stitches nice and close to the pocket edge. Be careful to keep the back of the t-shirt out of the way when sewing.

Lastly, press once more to set your stitches and you’re done!
