Let's give the husband's shirt a second chance! This type of men's clothing will need it if:
- its "carrier" has greatly increased or decreased in volumes;
- was infinitely devoted to her, to which the shirt "reacted" to the worn sleeves and collar;
- a man prefers to wear only new things.
Of course, this list can be continued further,After all, there are a great many reasons and grounds for us to want to remake our husband's (father's, brother's, son's...) shirt into a women's shirt. Moreover, remaking a man's shirt into something for the opposite "sex" is not at all difficult, you just need to have such a desire, as well as threads, a needle, scissors, a sewing machine and several different (depending on your idea) elements for finishing and decoration. How can this be done in practice? Let's look at several options.
Blouse
Once you have determined what kind of men's shirt you want,want to remake it for your wardrobe, wash it, dry and iron it, then prepare all the necessary tools and get started. By the way, for this version of a women's blouse, you will need a braid or a satin ribbon of small width as an auxiliary material. So, let's get started. Lay out the still men's item on a flat surface and cut off its upper part together with the collar to the depth that you need for a small neckline. If the sleeves of the shirt are short, then leave them in their original form, otherwise cut them to the required length - just above the elbow. Now fold all the cut edges of the shirt so that you can push the braid or ribbon through them, baste and try on. Is everything to size? Now process the edges with an overlock and stitch them on the machine, then insert the tape or ribbon and, pulling the fabric together, tie it with bows. Whether you deprive a women's shirt of men's pockets (if they were on the original, of course) or leave them, is up to you. Otherwise, the product is quite ready to go out.
Blouse with ruches
Now let's try to alter the shirt,intended for men, into a women's blouse with frills. The working tools will remain the same, just add a piece of soap, a felt-tip pen or something similar for marking. Lay out a washed and ironed men's shirt on a table or other flat and hard surface, and then, using the pattern of your size, draw a T-shirt on it. Next, removing the collar and sleeves from the shirt, and also cutting it a little on the sides, sew the blouse from the inside out according to the pattern and process the edges. Now rip the sleeves of the shirt and, removing the old seams, cut the sleeves into strips of the same width, then carefully sew them into a single strip - it should be rectangular, with even edges, process the edges and pull together. Sew the frills to the collar of the blouse, make a belt from the remaining fabric. Well, that's it. Wear in good health a women's blouse, remade from a men's shirt.
Smart blouse
To make a smart blouse out of your husband's shirtfor yourself, it won't take much effort. Prepare a white men's shirt and buy ten meters of trim tape of any bright color. Next, remove the collar from the shirt and instead sew several rows of tape around the neck so that the stand is completely covered. Now remove the cuffs and also sew tape along the bottom of the sleeves and on the fastener bar. Don't forget that the fastener should not embarrass you, a woman, with its masculine location, so simply replace the buttons with lacing or snaps (don't forget to sew up the slit loops).
Blouse - "peasant woman"
In this case, we remake a men's shirta ladies' peasant blouse, for which we will again need all the above-mentioned tools, as well as the shirt itself and a small piece of fabric of a different color. Using a pencil or a piece of soap, draw a neckline of the desired depth on the original, and then cut off the excess fabric. Now, using an overlock or zigzag stitch, process the edges of the drawstring and stitch it, leaving a free opening. Insert an elastic band, connect its ends and stitch the drawstring to the end. Next, determine the length of the sleeve you need by cutting off the excess material, and cut out cuffs from the prepared fabric, ten centimeters wide. Sew their ends and iron the allowances. Now fold each cuff in half (lengthwise) and iron the middle, then unfold, iron the allowances to it, and fold again along the middle line. Gather the sleeve into small gathers, insert it into the cuff and sew one to the other. Repeat the same with the second sleeve, then hem the bottom of the shirt if you shortened it. Another option for transforming a men's shirt into a women's blouse is ready.
Just a topic
To make it you can usea classic men's shirt with short sleeves. Cut the product along the neck and armhole lines, and then cut off some fabric from the sides. Do not throw away the sleeves - they will come in handy for sewing straps. Now on the inside of the shirt - about a centimeter above the breast pocket - make a mark, and then fold back the top of the future top and baste the seam line. Sew the sides, then stitch the drawstring, at a distance of one and a half centimeters from the top of the product, and insert an elastic band. And, as a finishing touch, sew straps made from the sleeves of a men's shirt in convenient places on the top of the top. You can decorate your summer new thing with buttons and other decorative materials. We recommend reading:
