Hello Everyone!
How are you all doing?
So the idea for this t-shirt came from pinterest, (I'll add my pinterest profile to my blog soon so you can check that out), anyway I saw a girl wearing a t-shirt and I thought that it was so pretty and I looked on their website and it said you can buy it here and blah blah blah.... But I was like hey I can make that. Also I'm really sorry but I didn't repin the picture and I can't remember the website with the t-shirt but I hope you'll get the idea...
I went to OVS, which is a clothes shop in Italy and some of their stuff is quite nice, anyway I bought a plain white t-shirt from there in the sales and I think it was around €8, which was good, so if you live in Italy or are here on holiday or whatever check that out if you haven't already... And with that t-shirt I just cut a hole out of the back of the t-shirt, leaving the seam at the top, that goes around the neck, so that i could sew the bow to that. And with my sewing machine I sewed down the raw edge of the circle.
To make the bow I bought some black material that was quite thick because it needed to be able to keep it's shape and stay up. With that I cut a rectangle which was roughly the size I wanted my bow to be, but it had curved edges, (I'll put an image below to show you what I mean). Then I cut a long strip of material to wrap around the bow. I sewed the end of the long strip with my sewing machine, after that I hand sewed the bow into the strip, and I hand sewed the strip that wrapped around the bow to the t-shirt. If you want to glue gun all that or use any other method to attach it then I'm sure that would work too.
So I cut a shape that was kind of like this image above for my bow but the curves weren't as strong, they were more straight if you know what I mean. But if you want your bow to have more pleats then just make it a normal rectangle, I just found that this way it stayed paper and looked better.

So this is my DIY Black Bow T-Shirt, I'm really happy with it, and I think it's a really cool, pretty spin on a basic old white tee. I hope my explanation on how I did this was clear and that you can understand it! I'm pretty new to all this stuff. So it will get better!
Have a good day!
