DIY spotted sleeves

Hello, girls! Here is my "diy" on how i did this polka dot shirt. It`s very easy to make and the most challenging part is to find the right material for the sleeves. I bought my in the local fabric store by chance. Well...let`s get started.
(...and i`m sorry for an extreme serious face on all pictures :)


1. First thing you gonna need is a basic and cheep t-shirt , like mine from H&M. I bought a tonne of them in black and white colors! Not only they are a great piece to have in your wardrobe (should i say " a must have"?), but also great for different DIY`s.  (I`m already made 3 different ones!)


2. Then obviously you gonna need your fabric for sleeves. As i said i was extremely lucky to find the one i have. And i hope you can easily find fabric you want in your local fabric store.

3. When you have a t-shirt and the fabric, you gonna need a pattern of your sleeves. I get mine from my mom`s sewing magazine. I can't really explain how to make this pattern from zero, but i hope pictures are self-explanatory.  


4. Now cut the same pattern from your fabric, don't forget to leave few extra cm of it for sewing.

5. The last and easiest part of this DIY is sew your sleeves to the t-shirt. I used sewing machine , but you can also do it by hand.

I hope i explained everything good enough, if you still have some questions leave them in the comments below and i do my best to answer them. I'd love to hear a feedback from you. :)

Hugs & Kisses.
