DIY Fringed Shirt
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make an easy DIY fringed shirt.
MATERIALS USED:
Long sleeved shirt
Some knit material as long as the sleeve of your shirt (a second old shirt works great)
Scissors
Sewing machine or needle and thread
My first fringed shirt was a white shirt with white fringes that I made ages ago to mimic the shirt Jimi Hendrix wore at Woodstock. I acclimated it into my everyday wardrobe, where it quickly became one of my favorite shirts. However, lately that shirt has been getting a little more worn out with each trip through the washer, so I figured it was time to make a replacement.
I generally tend to dress a little bohemian (I think there’s probably a past life influence there somewhere), so I made this fringed shirt multi-colored, but you could also make shirt and the fringe both the same color if you want something a little more subtle. The material I used for the fringe was one of my old tie-dye shirts that wasn’t really wearable anymore, and the brown base shirt I picked up for $2 in the Salvation Army (eco-friendly and very affordable!).
The fringes start out wide, but eventually wrap around themselves as they go through the wash a few times, ending up as nice thin fringes. (And yes, fringed shirts look great with bell bottoms, so if you want to complete the look, check out my DIY flared jeans tutorial here.)
