DIY shirt pocket.

Original shirt from New Look.
I decided to add a boob pocket to an old t-shirt that I bought in a New look sale 2 years ago. 

First select a fabric in a colour you like. I found this silk sample book, you can buy these for around £1 in a lot of curtain shops etc. 

Cut out the fabric to a little bigger than the size you want the pocket to be, about half an inch around each side. I also decided to put a band of mint sheer fabric across the top of my pocket to make it a little more interesting.

Turn the pocket the wrong way around and fold the edges in on all sides. Along the top of the pocket you want to sew a seam to keep it tidy when the other 3 sides are stitched to the t-shirt. 

Then turn the pocket the right way around, pin it to where you want it to be placed on the shirt and stitch along all 3 sides as close to the edge as possible. I used a mint green thread for my pocket, ensure you use a thread you wont mind seeing as you'll be able to see it outside of the pocket. 

DIY collar

This is a primark mens shirt i got in a sale. I cut off the sleeves for summer.
It had a plain white collar which didn't look right so i got a piece of dip dyed denim which I used as a tester for a denim vest which i bleached. I attached the  denim to the collar the whole way around so it fades from denim to white. I the put black silk corners on the add something extra.
