J.Crew sequin stripe boatneck tee DIY

~ SEWING

 
 
 

my inspiration: J.Crew sequin stripe boatneck tee $78
right when i saw this shirt, i was like “wait! i have a shirt EXACTLY like that!”
so starts my DIY.  in my closet:
what you’ll need:
striped top
2 sequin decorative trims (hobby lobby $1.99 each)
scissors
liquid stitch
best part of this is NO SEWING needed! yipee, woohoo, Lord have mercy!

 

after:
you can’t really tell in certain lighting like this picture below
but with the right angle/lighting you can see a subtle glamour to a casual tee.
i didn’t like the j.crew version at first because the stripes wern’t as prominent since the sequins were on top of it.  but now that i did the black sequin on black stripe and how the sequins are not that noticeable, i think i like the j.crew version a lot too.  i have another shirt exactly like this tee in red so i might do the clear sequins on that.  which do you prefer?
and LAST DAY to get FREE SHIPPING on all the headbands at S.T Collection!
instructions:
1. squeeze liquid stitch from one side to the other.
2. lay the sequin trim on top and press.  cut the remaining trim.
3. lay the shirt on a hard surface with the sequin part touching the surface and
put something like a book or something heavy on top of the shirt.
4. let it air dry overnight.
project budget: very low priced
estimated time: 25 mins.
level: beginner
