Kids Cuff Upcycled Tshirt Tutorial

What you need:

Rotary Cutter/ Scissors 

Steam a Seam or Pellon fusible webbing 

Tshirt scraps (I used 1 tshirt sleeve & the initial cut from another shirt) 

Iron 

Sewing machine or needle + thread

Time:

10 minutes or less 

1. Cut through both layers of sleeve creating a long rectangle.

2. Sew 2 rectangles together + fuse initial onto center of rectangle (be sure to follow directions)

3. Fold rectangle in half & sew ends together- (serge or zig zag stitch if you prefer) 

And you're finished!

a few tips: Instead of fusing applique on to cuff you can sew down for more durability.  
For a super fast project, just cut  few inches off the end of sleeve & hand sew or use fabric markers to add design.  (as seen with the purple "e" cuff) 
6" measurement works well for 4-6 y I had to make the cuff a little smaller for my 3y.

I think this is a great project for birthday party favors or costumes and is the perfect scrap buster project.  They boys are really excited about the Ninjago marathon going on this weekend and I whipped up a few of these in a matter of minutes. What will you be putting on your tee cuffs?
