Looking for a fun way to punch up your plain shirt? How about adding sequin shoulders! A great way to stay comfortable, while still looking dressed up for any occasion. I wore mine to the Friday night mini parties at Alt Summit and got loads of compliments. The best part? Nobody knew just how EASY it was to make! Like seriously, less than 10 minutes.
Let me show you how. (PS – no sewing machine required).
Sequin Shoulder DIY.
MATERIALS:
- Shirt you want to embellish
- Sequin Applique (I got mine HERE, it comes in silver or black).
- Pins, needle and thread, scissors
HOW TO:
- Gather supplies as listed.
- Place sequin appliqué in desired location on shirt. Pin loosely around the side edges.
- Using a needle and thread, whipstitch around the side edges of the appliqué directly onto the shirt.
And you are finished!
It looks fantastic, and it only took you one half of a Disney cartoon to whip up. I think the exact words my husband used when I asked him to photograph me were, “You look amazing!!!”.
That might or might not have been because he has seen me in nothing but yoga pants for the past 2 weeks. Dang winter weather and sickness cramping my style. HA!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…
Happy Sewing!
Wow. Lovely 🙂
Thank you so much!!
I tell ya Jess, You ROCK!! Yoga pants or not, you make even a tee shirt look GREAT!!! I have to go w/ Hub on this one!!
Haha – thanks so much Chelle 🙂
Stop it with all of these sparkly things on your blog! You’re making me want to make all of them and be fancy while working over my heat press.
I’m dying laughing, because just yesterday I was saying… Man, I sure am posting a lot of sequin stuff lately! Must be feeling the need to shine in all of this cold winter weather 🙂
What a cute and easy project! Do you wash the shirt as normal? Just wondering, since yours has beaded fringe.
Thanks so much Sarah! I would probably wash this on a gentle cycle, and let it air dry.
This is so cute for dressing up a plain T!
