Tri-Wizard Tournament Reconstructed T-Shirt © Jennifer Ofenstein (a.k.a. ofenjen) Supplies 1 red t-shirt 1 black t-shirt in the same size and style as the red t-shirt Rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat or a straight edge, pencil and sharp scissors Seam ripper Pins Sewing machine or needle and thread Hogwarts crest stencil Potter and star stencil Stencil adhesive Tulip Slick fabric paint in red, green, blue, yellow, white and gold Stencil brush Instructions Pre-wash both shirts without fabric softener. Find the center of each shirt by folding in half towards the front and matching the sleeves. Mark the top and the bottom with a pin. If using a rotary cutter, this is your cutting line. If using a straight edge, draw a pencil line from top to bottom. Cut as straight as possible. Sleeve Reconstruction Select the red shirt right and black shirt left and carefully remove the sleeves from each side of the shirt using a seam ripper. Be very careful to not stretch the fabric. Swap the sleeves so that red is with black and black is with red. Turn the shirt half you are working on inside out and place the sleeve, right side out inside the sleeve hole (right sides will be together), matching the top and bottom creases. Pin the sleeve in place, being careful not to stretch the fabric. Using a stretch stitch on your sewing machine, stitch in a ¼” to ½” (0.64 cm to 1.27 cm) seam all the way around. If stitching by hand, take small stitches. Repeat for the other sleeve. Shirt Body Reconstruction Place one shirt inside the other, right sides together so that the wrong sides of the seam lines will be on the outside. You will have two seams, a front and a back. Carefully pin starting at the t-shirt ribbing and work your way down, trying not to stretch the fabric. If the bottoms hems do not meet, pin the bottom edges together and ease along the middle of the shirt. Carefully stitch along this line as for the sleeves. Snip the corners of the inside seams on the diagonal. Turn the shirt right side out. Stenciling the front (Hogwarts Crest) Cut out the four sections of the Hogwarts Crest stencil. Spray stencil adhesive on the back, following manufacturer's directions. Place cardboard or newspaper inside the t-shirt to protect from bleed through. Carefully place the stencil on the upper left side of the shirt (the black side). Using white fabric paint, stencil all four sections. Allow stencil to dry without removing. After the white paint has had time to dry, stencil the upper left section red, the upper right section green, the lower left section yellow and the lower right section blue. Gently peel stencil away and allow to dry. Paint a letter H over the four sections in gold paint. Stenciling the back (Potter & star) Cut out the Potter and star stencil. Spray stencil adhesive on the back, following manufacturer's directions. Place cardboard or newspaper inside the t-shirt to protect from bleed through. Carefully place the stencil in the middle of the back of the shirt, matching center lines. Using white fabric paint, stencil the letters and star. Allow stencil to dry without removing. After the white paint has had time to dry, stencil the name and star with red paint. Gently peel away and allow to dry. Final Product   Credit Jennifer Ofenstein (a.k.a. ofenjen)'s pattern was taken with permission from sewhooked.org. Please note that the patterns and tutorials you find here have been designed by Harry Potter fans all over the Internet. The authors alone hold the copyrights and licences to these patterns and tutorials, which means you CANNOT use their patterns to make something that you will sell to others afterwards. You can use them to make things for yourself. You can make some for your friends and ask them to pay for supplies. You CANNOT, however, ask them to pay you to do it as though you had created this pattern by yourself, or try to sell you crafts to a local store. Think about it. Would you take a Prisoner of Azkaban book, photocopy it, put your name in big red letters on the front cover and try to sell it in your local library? The answer is, obviously, no. Well, selling crafts you have made but not designed would be just as bad!
