STEP 1

PREPARE A CLEAN FLAT SURFACE AND ARRANGE YOUR MATERIALS. ALIGN YOUR MEASURING TOOL WITH THE BOTTOM OF YOUR TEE. 

 STEP 2

CUT UP TO THE STITCH LINE IN 1” INTERVALS ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE TEE. FLIP THE SHIRT OVER AND DO THE SAME ON THE BACK.

STEP 3

MEASURE 6 1/2” FROM THE HEM. ON THE SIZE S/M THIS WILL ALMOST HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE PRINTED AREA. CUT 6 1/2” STRIPS FOLLOWING YOUR 1” SPACED CUTS AT THE HEM.   

STEP 4

CUT THE 6 1/2” LONG STRIPS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE FRONT AND BACK HEM.

STEP 5

STARTING ON THE LEFT SIDE, TAKE TWO STRIPS. LAY THE RIGHT STRIP OVER THE LEFT STRIP.

STEP 6

LOOP THE RIGHT SIDE THROUGH LEFT SIDE, FORMING A SINGLE KNOT.

STEP 7 

STEP 8

STARTING ON THE RIGHT SIDE, SELECT TWO STRIPS FROM TWO ADJACENT KNOTS. PLACE THE LEFT STRIP OVER THE RIGHT STRIP. 

STEP 9

LOOP THE LEFT SIDE THROUGH THE RIGHT SIDE INTO A SINGLE KNOT. THEN, TIE IT IN A BOW.

STEP 10

CONTINUE TYING BOWS AROUND ENTIRE HEM UNTIL COMPLETE!

A FEW TIPS...

1. YOU SHOULD HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF STRIPS ON THE BACK AS YOU DO ON THE FRONT. YOU WILL NEED AN EVEN TOTAL NUMBER OF STRIPS TO TIE THE BOWS.

2. YOU CAN ADJUST THE SILHOUETTE OF THE TEE BY HOW TIGHTLY YOU TIE THE BOWS. TIE THEM LOOSER AND THE HEM WILL HANG STRAIGHT. TIE THEM TIGHTER, AND IT WILL BLOUSON.

3. IF YOU DON’T TIE THE BOWS PERFECTLY THE FIRST TIME, YOU CAN UNTIE THEM AND TRY AGAIN!

4. TO CLEAN, PLEASE BE SURE TO HAND WASH THE TEE AND DRY IT FLAT. IF YOU MACHINE WASH, THE BOWS WILL BECOME UNTIED.  

5. BE CREATIVE. PLEASE ADAPT AND CUSTOMIZE OUR TEE AS YOU PREFER IT!
