I love this idea! It really reminds me of all the black peace now and H. Naoto clothes I can't afford. I've never been into DIY until I recently realized how easy stuff like this is to make. :)

can you use glue instead of seam sealer? i'm pretty sure you can't buy seam sealer here >.>

If you use glue, I don't think you can wash it.

That turned out so well. Funny I use Fray Check on my pointe shoe ribbons but never thought of using it to keep a cutout from fraying.

i think if you actually looked at spinal anatomy it would look a bit more like the original, rather than a series of pebbles. i, however, think the idea is funking awesome, and studying spines and all that i think ill be doing similar.

i'll probably end up hand washing my shirt, just in case. i may make a test shirt, run it through the wash and report back here to let you guys know how it does.

the cheap hanes 3-pack tees work great. plus, if you accidentally mess up, you've got two extras. :)

diy: how to make a custom cut out tee

Sep 27, 2008

Ever since seeing Zana’s cutout skull sweater by Pleasure Principle, I’ve had a major crush on the label. From their fantastically simple split knee jeans to their knot dress, their designs are extremely covetable. Anyway, to the point of this article (which wasn’t to gush about the brand), I’d been lusting over Pleasure Principle’s cut out spine tee for what seems like ages when I realized that it would make a rather simple DIY project.

What You’ll Need:

-a piece of clothing
-something to mark your garment with
-scissors
-liquid seam sealant (I used Fray Check)

1. Draw out your design on your garment. It’s best to do this in something that can be washed out (water-soluble marker) or rubbed off (tailor’s chalk) in case you change your mind about something as you start cutting. Also, I suggest keeping the cut edges at least a ¼” apart from each other to reduce the possibility of anything unraveling/tearing/etc.

2. Cut the fabric along the places you’ve marked.

3. Apply Fray Check to the raw edges and let dry.

4. Wear your new creation and post it on Chictopia!

The best part about this DIY is that there are endless possibilities! You could cut virtually anything anywhere on the garment of your choice.

I’m excited to see what your creative minds will come up with!

-Camille
