So let's know how you can make an amazing necker for yourself or your siblings at home with a bad T-shirt, some simple items and in a little time.
How can you make a shorts at home from a damaged T-shirt?
1. Making a good pattern - To make knickers at home from a worn out T-shirt, first of all, fold your old knickers in the middle so that it looks plain from one side. Now place it on a paper and trace its size all around with a marker. Add a little extra space at the bottom and towards the waist. This is called hem allowance, where the stitching will take place. Now cut out this pattern. This will make your own knicker pattern.
2. Cutting the old T-shirt - After preparing the necker pattern, lay your old T-shirt on a flat surface. If there is a big logo or print on it, try to keep it at the back or avoid it. Now place your prepared pattern on the T-shirt and pin it. Cut this pattern twice from the T-shirt i.e. you will need 4 panels.
3. Join the pieces i.e. start making the necker - Now keep 2-2 pieces together and the front side of both, which is called the right side of the fabric, should be face to face. Now join both of them and sew from the right side. By doing this you will have two big parts. Now join these two parts from the middle and sew from the waist side. Now sew the middle crotch line.
4. Finishing, hemming and preparing the waist - Try wearing the necker and see how the waist fits. Now fold the waist and legs inwards and pin it so that you can sew the hem. Also, it will be easier to press it after folding and the stitching will also look neat. You can work in three ways for the waist. First, sew a tube-like thing on the waist and make two small holes from where the string will go inside, pull the elastic and sew it so that later it can be pulled and fit the waist or just fold the waist and sew straight.
5. Decoration and customization - Now at last you can add lace at the bottom if you want. You can make any design with fabric paint. You can customize with tie-dye look or you can also add name tag or small pocket. Now your old T-shirt is ready for a new pair of shorts. That too without spending any money.
