A sexy spin on a classic comic shirt

I decided that my old Batman shirt needed a revamp, since I hadn't worn it in ages and wanted to do something fun with it. I thought that this might be a great way to make a boxy t-shirt slightly more feminine, while keeping the superhero charm. :)

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Iron on Interfacing
  • Lace
  • Superhero T Shirt

Steps (8 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut a piece of interfacing of the same size and shape of your shirt's logo.

  2. 2

    Turn your shirt inside-out and iron the interfacing onto the back of the shirt's logo.

  3. 3

    Decided how much of the logo you want to be cut out. Mark this on the shirt (I used a tailor's pen for this). Cut out the inside piece that you don't want, leaving a small allowance to be folded over, and tack a hem around the edges.

  4. 4

    Once all of the edges are tacked, iron them flat. After this, you can choose to hand-stitch or machine-sew them down, but this step is optional.

  5. 5

    Cut a piece of black lace large enough to cover your logo-hole and position it as you choose.

  6. 6

    Tack your lace into place and try the shirt on just to ensure that you're happy with it.

  7. 7

    Machine-sew (or hand-stitch) the lace down by sewing along the edge of the logo, also securing the hem, remembering to finish of with a few back-stitches to secure it.

  8. 8

    Remove all tacking.
