DIY T-Shirt Upcyle

99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Trim, and Tie Your T-Shirt into Something Special is a great guide to -ing your thrift store wardrobe. Soft worn in shirts are great, but ripped slinky shirts that show more skin are better!

This instruction book by Campai Studio in Brooklyn gives you 99 ways to alter any t-shirt using scissors, needle, and thread. Each project is simple, makes the most from a minimal amount of alterations, and makes even a hack job look hot since precision isn’t the name of the game.

Each project is rated 1 (easiest) to 4 (still pretty easy) and gives you step by step how-to. Compai has written two similar books titled 99 Ways to Cut, Sew, and Rock Out Your Denim and 99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Tie, and Rock Your Scarf.

Some of these you can literally complete in under 5 minutes.

See the gallery of completed works on the next page.
