Step 1: Old T-shirts

anands DIY 010.jpg
The supplies needed for this project are as follows:

2 old t-shirts
Pair of scissors
Sewing machine (or you can sew by hand if you know how and don't mind the amount of time it would take :) I do it all the time!)
Pins (for holding material together)
A hooded shirt (to use for the pattern of the hood)



First thing you want to do is find two old t-shirts that you don't mind cutting up and putting together to create a new look.

Next is to figure out which t-shirt  you would like to use as the base for your hoodie-T and which one you would like to use for the hood and sleeve ends.

For my base shirt I used an old shirt I got when I was on holiday in Hawaii. (It was originally dark blue but I decided to bleach it to make it a much lighter sky blue. This is not something you need to do with your shirt unless you want to.)

For the hood and sleeve end parts of the shirt I used a shirt which I had tye-dyed for a Homecoming event at my University. ( I made the mistake of picking up a pack of V-neck t-shirts instead of the crew neck ones. Not something I would really wear.)

Let's get started!
