Easy DIY T-Shirt Kimono | DIY Fashion

Here's a DIY clothing project that involves a relatively simple t-shirt refashion. If your hubby has an extra large shirt he's no longer using, put it to good use. Turn it into upcycled clothing in a matter of minutes! This is cool DIY clothing you can wear anywhere!

What you'll need for this T-shirt refashion:

• Men's plain t-shirt in an extra large size
• Scissors
• Needle & thread or fabric glue
• Lace or fringe trim

Step 1

Begin by cutting out the collar and sleeve-hems of the t-shirt. Then cut a rectangle-sized shape out of the front of the t-shirt, rounding the edges near the bottom. This will be the front opening of the kimono.

Step 2

Try on the kimono for size, and make adjustments if necessary. I chose to shorten the sleeves on mine.

Step 3

Measure out a length of lace trim to fit around the bottom of the kimono. Then, using a needle and thread, stitch the lace to the hem. Alternatively, you can just use fabric glue to attach your trim.

Step 4

You're done — enjoy!

This is fun craft to make for yourself, or on a smaller scale for you little fashionista sister. Pair this casual jacket style with a sundress or skinny jeans for a lovely look!
