Inspiration For Making Your Own T shirt Designs.

Three T Shirts, using one Pattern

I am always looking for ways to make my wardrobe unique, with out paying the high cost of fashion. It's nice to treat your self sometimes but I have found ways to make your own designer t-shirts like you see in the retail stores.

I used a Butterick 3344 pattern .

My inspiration for the first t shirt I made was a Victoria Secret top. Not only was this top not available for purchase (or at least that is my conclusion) I had some fabric that I really liked and wanted to use it to make this top.

For this top I use view E on the pattern. I liked the hood that my inspiration photo was showing, so I added this feature. I used the hood pattern piece form a Jalie pattern I already had.This goes to show you can be resourceful to accomplish what you need.
I also lengthened the t shirt, because the length did not appeal to me after I had tried it on. I added a 3" band, it went together very easily.

However, I wanted to dress it up a little by adding the satin band at the bottom. This again is a 3" band and went together easily. I also shortened the sleeves for a summer look.

I used view C of the Butterick pattern. I shortened the sleeves and extended the length about 7".

I hope this inspires you to find an inspiration photo and design a t shirt you like.
