Along with all of the friendships that I took away from the conference, I also brought home the hippest shirt. This year's summit shirt is too freakin' cute with the pocket tee design. Kudos to whoever designed it! I took it a step further with a personal touch by making it into a real pocket! A DIY pocket tee usually starts with a plain shirt. You would cut a pocket-shaped piece of fabric, and then you would put the two together. Unlike the other tutorials online, I made the pocket using the printed pocket as a template.
To achieve the same look, all you need is: a piece of fabric of your choice, scissor, needle and thread. It's that easy! If you are terribly afraid of stitching, then you can use adhesive tape instead.
Step 1: Cut a piece of fabric that covers the pocket template of the original shirt. It's better to cut a larger piece just in case you underestimated it.
Step 2: Stitch or use adhesive tape along the pocket template. Try your best to go along the edges so it looks clean.
Step 3: Cut along the top of the pocket template. Make sure you do not cut into the fabric piece. This is where the pocket comes to life!
Step 4: Use adhesive tape to seal the top edge of the shirt to the fabric. Again, this will give the pocket a clean look.
Tada! That is it. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take pictures of each step, so feel free to comment if the steps are too hard to follow.
