3 easy ways to customise your t-shirts

Here’s Pulp’s step by step guide to 3 really easy customised t-shirt looks, perfect for the summer and no sewing required!

•    For a slouchy slashed neck tee follow steps 1-5
•    For a cropped tee follow steps 1-7
•    For a Fringe-Hem top follow steps 1-9

You will need a t-shirt  (practice with an old t-shirt first, don’t go straight for your favourite) a pair of sharp scissors, a ruler and a pen/pencil/tailors chalk that will show up on your tee. For the examples below we've used a 'Large' t-shirt.

1.        Lay your t-shirt out flat on the ground, smooth it out and make sure the hems are straight.



2.        To make a slashed neckline draw around the neck, starting roughly and inch wider than the ribbed neckline, on the front of the tee.  Don’t draw your line too wide as the fabric will stretch, it’s better to cut it smaller than needed as you can always cut more away later if you want to.

 

3.     Making sure the back and front of your tee are flat to the floor and the seams are straight, carefully cut along the guideline you have drawn, cut through both the back and front of the tee (if you work on a hard floor it will help keep your cutting straight)

4.    Neaten up any wobbly cutting and finish it off by placing your thumbs in the tee, on either side of the neckline (where you've just cut) and gently pull the fabric.  This will make the raw edges curl up, and your t-shirt will sit straight.


5.    Turn the sleeves up around and inch and roll up a few times (depending on how short you want them)

You now have a slouchy off the shoulder tee It should look something like this…


If you don’t want to carry on you can team your tee with shorts or skinnies like Avril, Mary-Kate and Gwen. 



6.    Next (Skip this step if you want cropped tee) Cut off the rolled up hem along the bottom of the t-shirt.


7.    Decide how short you want the body of you tee and measure up from the base, (I measured 10inches) mark this line on the front and back.  I turned my tee inside out for the next few steps so the measurements weren’t visible when finished


If you want a cropped tee like Tay, Ash and Juliet just carefully cut along the guidelines you’ve drawn around the front and back of the tee and you’re finished.


8.    If you want to make a fringe hem tee then cut strips from the base of the tee up to the guideline you’ve marked out.  If you not great at cutting in a straight lines use a ruler to mark out 1 inch strips first.



After you've cut all your strips it should look something like this …



1.       To finish off hold the top and bottom of each tassel and stretch it, this will make it curl up so it looks a bit like spaghetti.
Your finished tee should look something like this …
 Lana, Katy and Eliza have all been spotted rocking Fringe-Hem tees.  Wear yours with shorts and wellies for a killer festilval look, and if you're feeling creative add beads to the tasselled edges like Katy has.

Down But Not Out


Down But Not Out is a clothing range founded by You Me At Six frontman Josh Franceschi. YM@S is a rock band from Surrey, since getting together in 2004 they have release 3 albums, played to a total of 65,000 people on just two of their many UK tours and won Kerrang’s ‘Best British Band’ of 2011.

Josh always wanted to start some sort of clothing company to express himself through a means other than music and launched DBNO in 2009

 “The phrase, “Down But Not Out”, has been my ethos, my way of approaching life for the last two years or so. You know “all that fighting your corner to get taken seriously in the music industry”.stuff……hoping there’s no lethal knock-out….ha…ha….Anyway, I thought, what better way to share this than to print it onto clothing!!”


The new range is coming very soon exclusively to Pulp! Check it out....


The full collection will be available very soon from our website www.thisispulp.co.uk

Oversized!

Upset that Pulp only has your favourite tee in massive sizes? Don't worry here's some tips on how to style oversized tees! Tay, Taylor and Hayley have all been seen rocking 'boyfriend fit' vintage band tees.

Roll up the sleeves of an oversized tee and team it with hot pants or skinny jeans for a laid back look.

Kirsten, Rihanna and Fearne are all wearing band tees with a girly twist.

Want a more feminine look? Try tucking your favourite band tee into a high-waisted skirt or knotting it up at the side.

Perfect for the summer, cut down the sides of a baggy tee like Tay, Kat, Taylor, Avril and Juliet have.

Want to customise your own tee, here's how

You will need a t-shirt  (maybe practice with an old t-shirt first, don’t go straight for your favourite) a pair of sharp scissors, a ruler and a pen/pencil/tailors chalk that will show up on your tee.


  1. Lay your t-shirt out flat on the ground, smooth it out and make sure the hems are straight.
  2. Measure from the sleeve seam 2 inches up towards the neck and mark.  Repeat on the other sleeve.
  3. Decide how low down you want to cut the sides of your tee (we've gone for 2 inches but you may want it to sit lower or higher) measure down from the armpit seam and mark.  Repeat on the other sleeve.
  4. Make a guideline to cut along.  Begin at marker you made on the shoulder and create a smooth line to meet the mark you made under the arm. Repeat on the other sleeve.
  5. Making sure the back and front of your tee are flat to the floor and the seams are straight, carefully cut along the guidelines you have drawn, cut through both the back and front of the tee (if you work on a hard floor it will help keep your cutting straight) .  Repeat on the other side.
  6. When you've done, neaten up any wobbly cutting and finish it off by placing your thumbs in the tee at the shoulder and armpit (where you've just cut) and gently pull the fabric.  This will make the raw edges curl up, and your t-shirt will sit straight.

your finished tee should look something like this...


Here are some of our favourite guys in customised tees. Perfect for showing off your tats like Travis, Jona, Oli, Sean. Joel and Ronnie!

Want to try it for yourself, its easy! 

You will need a t-shirt  (maybe try with an old t-shirt first, don’t go straight for your favourite) a pair of sharp scissors, a ruler and a pen/pencil/tailors chalk that will show up on your tee.



  1. Lay your t-shirt out flat on the ground, smooth it out and make sure the hems are straight.
  2. Decide how low down you want to cut the sides of your tee (we've gone for 3 inches but you may want it to sit lower or higher) measure down from the armpit seam and mark.  Repeat on the other sleeve.
  3. Make a guideline to cut along.  Begin at the top of the shoulder, follow the sleeves seam and taper off in a smooth line to meet the mark you made under the arm. Repeat on the other sleeve.
  4. Making sure the back and front of your tee are flat to the floor and the seams are straight, carefully cut along the guidelines you have drawn, cutting through both the back and front of the tee (if you work on a hard floor it will help keep your cutting straight) .  Repeat on the other sleeve.
