I have had a lot more time on my hands now that Ty's work schedule and I am left at home alone. I've already had enough of the couch and the TV so I turned to
to my closet to see what unfinished projects I left when I used to have time.
I found an old men's striped button up shirt that I got at DI several months ago hoping to eventually turn it into something. Nothing ever happened to it until this week! :)
I regret that I did not take a before picture so this picture I found off of the internet will have to do...
I have seen tutorials for DIY clothing refashions where you make big shirts smaller, but I was always too afraid!
It seemed too complicated but out of desperation I
decided to make some simple marks (with a sharpie I might add... yeah I'll remember NOT to do that for next time, I wasn't thinking clearly obviously)
for where I wanted the new sleeves and waist to be and took the scissors and sewing machine to it!
Well the stars magically aligned and I came out with this!
I was pleasantly surprised!
Hopefully there will be more diamonds in the rough in my closet!
