In the beginning of January I asked people to vote on which Men’s
Dress Shirt DIY I should do from one of my favourite books, Cool
Couture Remake Dresses. One of the runners up was Tie-Me-Up
so I did it today!

Materials

• Dress shirt – can be found in your brothers, dad’s or boyfriend’s closet or the thrift store
• Ribbon
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Decide where to cut sleeves and collar.
2. Dress shirts are woven so they fray easily once cut. A serger is best for finishing but if you don’t have one zig-zag stitches will do the trick.
3. Fold over edges and sew down
4. Decide on ribbon placement. Sew the ribbon while placed inside the armhole (see pic)
5. Fold over ribbon and tie!
6. Ribbons also fray, and easy way to stop this is to melt the edges with a lighter. BE CAREFUL!
7. The End!
