DIY Cut-Out Collar Shirt

[@coolirpa]

hey guys!!! i washed this shirt and the cut-outs do not keep fraying. it looks pretty nice still :) only part that was fraying a little was down the button holes. but around the shoulders and sweetheart it looked fine still! every shirt is different but i just wanted to let you guys know what happened to mine when i washed it without fray check or doing anything to it! good luck and don't be afraid to try things out :)

[@coolirpa]

yes! practice if you must :) i did a test round before i filmed the tutorial hehe.

[@coolirpa]

thank you! im working on uploading more often now ^-^

[@coolirpa]

yay!! thanks for watching ^-^

[@Peaceblossom]

It came out cool. A little hemming and fabric glue is fine. The shirt looks cute with a skirt. Structured yet soft. Great job.

[@rosemariecabrera4139]

Super cute!!! my husband gets bored with his button ups and never wears them.... you just gave me a great idea. Thanks! you're soOoo adorable 😊

[@creativelaylagrace9632]

it would be cool if you put lace in the cut out spaces

[@Clotheshoundforchick]

I'm definitely going to try that out!

[@jpscloud]

I did this yeeeears back for my first pride outfit and I loved it! I having this recommended to me now was a blast from the past. :P

[@kararoybal6415]

Love that there is no sewing because I don't have a sewing machine yet. Keep up the amazing work! :)

[@veralucia5125]

[@kadenhunter805]

@Kannon Shane Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@kadenhunter805]

@Kannon Shane it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D

[@hopekim54]

[@sladunkaAa]

I have seen so many tutorials..Best one yet! I love how you showed the sketched out shirt to make it easier for everyone to understand

[@msnunezgraham]

I never thumbs up just cause Im lazy, but for you, you are too genius. I thumbs up all of them

[@laurawokan7076]

Very good.

[@c.c.farmer2135]

I keep telling myself that I do not have time for sewing this winter but this project is very tempting. I may try it.

[@ThreadheadTV]

I think I'm going to have to try a variation of this project and if I do, I will certainly give you credit for the inspiration. Thanks!!! It is super cute.

[@franandreazc]

OMG I've always wanted to do my own clothes (ne ver took the risk before) and I had like a LOT of clothes that didn't fit anymore and I'm doing a bunch of beautiful things with your tuttorials!! Thank you SO much!! :D

[@animelovergirl9813]

i seriously havent seen anything this cute or creative in a long long time

[@AimWoods]

This is the 4th video of your I've watched cuz I'm trying to get good idea's for my daughters clothes she is in third grade and loves the styles of the different shirts that you have made. Thanks so much I will defiantly watch the videos for future ideas

[@jeweettogniewieikben]

I made it :D loved it, but i did it a little different. Because the fabric was frayed, I folded the fabric to the inside and sewed it off. It looks very beautiful

[@korenfisher7708]

ive made this top and i wasnt so sure it was going to come out so good but you can make plenty of styles with this top wear shorys with it long skirt anything its amazing and loose not too tight :) so big thumbs up for this x

[@samiksharai156]

The moment I saw the thumbnail, I bounced on this DIY and am totally crushing on it. It looks cute on you tho💕Thanks for this creativity ☺

[@JoelPerez-fp2zt]

Samiksha Rai but

[@tdsollog]

I love the cut-out idea! To help with preventing fraying, I'd suggest fray check or using bias tape.

[@makeupwhore365]

this is one of the best videos ive seen on cutting shirts!!!!

[@itsgisele4867]

This is so cute. I never thought of doing this to my old button down shirts. I'm definitely going to try this

[@meikusje]

I want one of those chalk markers! So handy! And the thing you put on the floor seems like a good idea as well...

[@nltcraze]

That is a really nice design April, it turned out pretty cute!

[@JessinyKira]

You truly are a little DIY fashion wizard. LOVE!

[@eviesdrawings1312]

That was a really cool way to make an old shirt look really pretty!!!

[@OpalLovesNausicaa]

This is amazing! And the shirt is adorable c: the tutorial was so well executed too :))

[@jackiec1736]

yes! True! People spend so much money for new clothing and you can change your clothing. I am always changing my clothes. All about recycling and changing something old and making it look new and different.

[@mtde1mantram]

OOOOOO DIS HELLA CUTE! MORE tutorials please with NO sewing machine! REALLY LOVE THIS

[@OhhNohelyy]

crying cus randomly found you and the best youtube channel ever!

[@suzihazlove4979]

I like the simplicity... Ty and the diamond cut is great no armpits showing.

[@user-ru1vs2cs5f]

You're so amazing! My family doesn't have a lot of money and your videos help me feel fashionable without going out and spending money. Please keep making videos :) oxoxo!

[@klaritydawn]

That is ADORABLE!!! SUPER Cute! Making one of these tomorrow and can't wait! Yes I was wondering what happened around the top when you washed it so I'm glad you posted that for us! Actually I think a little fraying will just make it even cuter!! :) Subbed ur channel for sure! Thanks so much! :)

[@ThreadheadTV]

bias seam binding for each opening would finish the edges and take it from homemade to couture without that much extra effort. I LOVE the top and will do a vid in response. Can't wait. I will be sure to credit you and link to your video. :) You have awesome ideas.

[@tonyayowens]

I think you are very good at what you do, Thank you, I have been looking for a shirt tutorial for so look, I will be watching from now, for more tutorials from you. Again thank you

[@coolirpa]

yes

[@nacorris]

I am 62 and love this shirt but I think when washed it would fray. I suggest a tube of that stop fraying stuff. U can get it at Jo anns. Great job!!

[@coolirpa]

don't make the line so curvy. if its too much of a curve, it will flop down. just a slight curve will work! :)

[@estellafaye3391]

another thing you could do if you're worried about fraying is zigzag stitch (or use a serger) over the edges in a similar colored thread :)

[@CrystalMuse55]

Hi there April! I was wondering about the new "neckline" - when you cut it out in this video, I assumed you would serge and hem it to prevent fraying. Is that not necessary with the fabric you used, or for some other reason? Also, I ADORE your thrifted transformations and DIY videos. It's helped me learn to not be afraid of sewing, and I'm planning on tackling my own sewing project as soon as I can find a good piece to practice on. Keep doing you, girl! 😘

[@ScarletHeather76]

Same here. What about fraying?

[@kali3966]

if your material does fray you could always just put fray check or fabric glue around the edges, the way the cuts are done would probably make hemming them kinda difficult :)

[@PN-sk3ve]

You are so creative, I liked this project. Thank you!

[@ilikegreenthings96]

i looove these diy clothes tutorials! keep making em!

[@TheCRYSTALLURE]

This is amazing. I’m so trying this on a white collared shirt I have that I have no use for now.

[@coolirpa]

thats an awesome idea!! use the pieces of fabric you cut-out as pattern pieces for the lace :)

[@emmadalskov7618]

This is like the coolest DIY ever!

[@danielleklinko7366]

Great video and idea!! I loved how the shirt turned out😍😍

[@DancingInTheDaylight]

Brilliant. I hope you know how brilliant you are. Thanks for making my wardrobe kickass! Love your channel

[@minivicky13]

I was thinking of tat omg it would look perfect and it wouldn't fall all over the place as much

[@lakeishag76]

The first person I saw to wear one of these was Cipriana from Urban Bush Babes and I thought it was sooo cute! Thank you for this video :)

[@MultiBigbird01]

i did this shirt too using my brother's denim acid wash shirt, but i sewed lace inserts onto the cut-outs. it looks amazing with these new pair of floral leggings i bought. great tutorial. could you plz plz do a tutorial on how to do a dip-hemmed back dress. i've been trying to figure out how to do it, but it doesn't look right!

[@coolirpa]

aw :') happy i can help! yep, you don't have to buy new clothes to feel fashionable! its how you use the clothes you have at home ;D

[@eleanorwilliams4901]

[@angelakelly316]

You can also make bias tape from your extra fabric and bias everything, it would make a cool design detail!

[@LilNicki12345]

You should use a frixon pen instead of chalk, that's what I use and the lines go away when you iron it

[@slhouze]

This is a really cute & easy to make idea. Thank you for sharing!

[@paigeelise2793]

This is totally rad :) Great pattern idea.

[@ChibiAlly]

I LOVE this! Totally gonna make it!

[@natalialescano2700]

Fantastico!!!!!!! Lo voy a hacer!!! Me encanto!!

[@MikoHimiv3]

This is so cute! Such a creative idea, is it possible to cover up the open spaces with something like lace? I think it would look really pretty! Great job on this tutorial! ;3

[@Booxeen]

Yes you could cover it up with lace, but then you would need to sew! :) And covering it up with a delicate cute lace would solve the problem of it fraying. I wanted to do this, but first of all I don't like my shoulders, and the fraying did worry me, but thank you for commenting this to give me that idea! ^o^
