DIY cut-out denim shirt


Denim shirts are by far the easiest wardrobe piece to throw on when putting together a casual outfit. I like my denim shirts with a twist and so today I’ll show you how to make a super-simple cut-out denim shirt – a summer staple!
A pair and a spare
You need:
A denim shirt
Scissors
A ruler
A pen
A needle and thread
Sewing pins
A pair and a spare
How to:
1.    Turn your shirt inside out and use a pen to mark a horizontal line where you want the bottom of your cut out to sit.

2.    Using your scissors, start cutting out the fabric, following the seams of the shoulders, button strip and neckline.

3.    Once you have cut both sides out, use some sewing pins to roll the edges of the bottom of the cut out over and secure.

4.    Using a needle and thread, sew the edge down, doing an invisible stitch on the front and longer stitches on the back.
