Turn an old t-shirt into an underscarf for a hijab.

You can turn your child's favorite old tees into unique under scarves.  It really easy if you follow these simple steps.
First pick the tee you want to use. I chose this one with all the embroidery and buttons on it, cute isn't it.

Second you cut off the bottom half of the tee where all the embellishments you want to use are. Cut it as high as you can go, this will make a bigger (longer) under scarf.

Next hem the raw edge where you just cut so it looks clean and neat.

Next cut the scarf to the width you need that will fit your child comfortably not too tight or too loose.
And then sew up that side, I left a little extra just so I can take out stitches later to expand if needed.

And finally you have a cute and UNIQUE under scarf made just for your special little girl.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Enjoy :-)

Arm sleeves are going green?!

Here is an arm sleeves that I made, recycling and old shirt that belonged to my daughter.  Here is a fun and unique way to reuse an old shirt. This shirt I used was made of a very thin knit fabric. Also because it was my daughters old shirt the sleeves made excellent undersleeves for an adult because the fit so snug.  First you find a shirt that you no longer want or need. Here is the shirt I used above.

Next I removed the ribbon trim from around the waist.

Here I cut of the arms of the shirt.
