How to Quickly & Easily Make a DIY Christmas Shirt Just Like Santa's

Tools and materials:

• Long shirt (preferably red and a velvet-style material)
• Faux fur strip
• Sewing machine
• Thread
• Scissors
• Measuring tape

1. Cut your shirt

My shirt is a little too long, so I’m going to cut it to my desired length. If yours is also long, then go ahead and do the same. 

2. Cut your faux fur

Now, go ahead and cut a strip of faux fur to your desired width and length (it should match the shirt’s bottom part). Keep in mind that you’ll need a little seam allowance, too. 

Flip the faux fur piece upward and sew along the rough side. The reason why I’m doing it this way is so that it has a nice, clean edge when it’s flipped back down. Use a tight, wide zigzag stitch. 

Tip: If you have stretchy fabric as I do, then stretch the fabric a little as you stitch. 

This is what the faux fur strip should look like now that it’s stitched on top. 

3. Finish off the cuffs

Now, repeat the whole process on the sleeves, and remember to flip the faux fur right sides in when stitching. This DIY Santa shirt is turning out to look magical! 

This came out so much better than I could have imagined!
