Please admire my new shirt! It is a refashion from one of Josh's bazillion button downs.
From this:
To this!
I got the idea/tutorial from one of my all-time favorite blogs, My Mama Made It.
The back
Josh and I have really tightened our budget lately, so I've been trying to find things around the house to sew with so I don't have to go buy things. One of the things I needed for this project was elastic. I don't have a spool of elastic sitting around, so what better way than to cut it off your pajama pants? Josh hated these pajama pants, and I was ridiculed every time I wore them. I guess I have had them since 8th grade or so. It was their time to go I guess. For everything there is a season, folks. Yes indeed.
A big shoutout goes to my friend Cindy, who gave me some extra buttons she had lying around.
So anyway, just a little snippy snip around the collar and the length of the sleeves, take in the sides a bit if it feels too baggy (mine did), add some color to the ends of the sleeves, add some elastic to the neckline, add some cuter buttons (thanks, Cindy!), and you have yourself a new peasant shirt! Oh and I took off the pocket. Sounds so easy when I say it now.

Actually, this one was pretty easy. Easy peasy, as the crafters say!

That's amazing, you're very talented!
Oh my gosh- cutest shirt ever! What a fun idea. That inspires me to bust out my sewing machine.
Thanks for your sweet comment- that totally made my day! I'm so happy that you and your hubby are finding lots of yummies to make. I'll keep 'em coming and you keep cooking! Deal? :)
I cannot believe you made that shirt...it's FANTASTIC. You are so talented.
And that bunny is delicious.
