5 Minute T-shirt Shrug Tutorial




Tutorial



Easiest shrug ever. Took about 5 minutes. Hence the name. Obviously. Duh.






Materials: L-XL t-shirt. Mine was a soft, thin, stretchy shirt. sewing machine, scissors.



Turn inside out. Follow the diagram and sew a scoop from shoulder to shoulder, about 1/2" away from the neckband. Now trim the fabric 1/2" away from the stitching. Turn right side out. Ta-da! You're done. To put it on, stick your arms through the sleeves as if you're putting on a jacket. Leave the rest of the material on your back. So, your arms should be through the sleeves, the neckline should be a seam on the middle of the back of your shrug, the front hem should be resting on your neck, and the back hem should be the bottom of your shrug.
