Our stylist to the stars, Mrs Jones, let us behind her studio doors and revealed her top tips for customising those items you’ve loved for years, never worn or just found in our huge selection of clothes & accessories from our Oxfam Online Shop.
Turn your T-shirt upside down.
To make your drawstring waist, snip two small holes in the waistband (5cm apart and fairly central works best),
Measure a string or cord long enough to run all the way around the waistband with some left over, attach a safety pin to one end of the cord and use this to push the cord in through one hole and back out the other.
Cut off the T-shirt collar and stitch up the neck to complete the low-slung crotch of your hammer pants.
All done! And ready to customise with zips, spray paints, patch pockets…
Get started with our range of second-hand t-shirts...
