Old new things

So, we sew ourselves from old things, updating our wardrobe.

If the T-shirt is boring, and the fabric does not stretch and did not pour out, you can make a summer top on one shoulder from it. To do this, we cut one sleeve on the armhole. On the other side of the T-shirt, mark the point on the lower edge of the armhole and connect it with a smooth line with the first strap, cut off. We get a pattern with a strap on one shoulder. Cut the strap and sew a plastic ring, connecting both parts. The cut line will be processed on the overlock. We got a new model from the old thing.

From the top and several T-shirts, you can make a summer sarafan. From T-shirts cut off the bottom, we sew from them the skirt of the skirt, combining the color and shape. Then sew this skirt to the top.

Child's world

We sew to children from old things. The photo shows what wonderful things can happen.

From the top of the jeans you can make a fashionable mini-skirt for the girl. To do this, we cut off the trousers, and at the bottom we make fringe.

From an old stretched sweater, you can sew a dress for a girl with a short sleeve. To do this, fold the sweater in half, cut out the shelves. From the sleeves cut the bottom with an elastic band. Carefully sew in the armhole. The stitches are sewn together.

Long sleeves of an old T-shirt can become beautiful leggings for a girl. For this, we bend along the cut line, insert the elastic band, the top can be decorated at our discretion.

From an old children's coat you can make a fashionable vest. We rip out the sleeves and lace the neck, armholes with a soft drape, and make fasteners for it.

From the pockets of old jeans will get a smart baby handbag. To do this, take two pockets and sew them together. You can make one department or two or three. It depends on how to sew the top part. The pocket should be carved together with the cloth to which it is sewn. The fabric is cut by one to two centimeters more than the pocket, and then a fringe is made from this part. On the front side of the bag you can make an applique. Handle the bag from the side seam of the trousers, it can also be decorated with fringe.

Ideas of alterations

From old things we sew new. If the shirt for the girl is in good condition, but has become short, you can make an insertion of a contrasting color in the lower part, and decorate the top of the T-shirt with a catchy element made from the same material (this may be, for example, a butterfly or a flower).

If the jeans for a girl are short, they can be lengthened with a multi-colored braid.

Fashionable bracelet we sew ourselves from old things. For him we need the remainder of denim, thread, needle, awl, beads, thin gum. From the fabric we cut out a rectangle 5 cm wide and 20-25 cm long. We make a fringe 1 cm wide along the entire length. We pierce the holes in the material with an awl. We collect the bracelet on an elastic band in the following way: we make two or three wrinkles, then a bead. So we do all the work. We sew the ends of the fabric.

From the scraps of denim fabric, you get an original apron. Pockets can be of a different color, this will make the product unusual.

For children

We sew for the children from old things a pillow and make an original glass for pencils.

From old jeans we cut out a circle and add details: the ears from the same material, eyes and nose from buttons, you can sew a bow. The head of a bear, a pig or an owl is ready. From it, you will get a nice cover for the pillow in the nursery.

From old pantyhose we sew a snake-pillow. It will require several tights of the same size, from which we cut the bottom and top. Then we sew the cooked pieces together. At one end we make the snake's head, with the buttons we designate the eyes. Then evenly fill the sintepon, sew the other end. We twist the snake into a ring and fasten it together. It was the original pillow.

That the child does not scatter pencils, we shall weave to him an unusual glass. It will take a bushing from toilet paper, glue and cut seams from jeans. First, glue the bottom of thick paper, then to it in the lower part we will attach stripes of denim fabric and close one more circle of paper. If you lift the strips up, they should be about two centimeters apart. Now in a circle we are braiding a glass, placing horizontal strips in a staggered order. At the top we glue the edge.
