We followed most of the directions on the tutorial, but altered the neck and sleeves. We used elastic thread instead of making an elastic casing. It seemed much easier and I like the look. Ben was not ready to part with any of his dress shirts, so I had fun combing through the racks at the thrift store picking out some patterns I liked. I have another shirt that is waiting to be cut up. I have some ideas about changing up the buttons or possibly adding a contrasting fabric along the bottom...
Too freakin crafty!! I have plenty of Ben's old shirts if you want them...or want to make Kennedy one. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw this same tutorial and have a couple of Jeff's old shirts set aside. Amelia's turned out so great. I'm excited about your new blog.
