Another T-shirt Makeover

Here's another T-shirt makeover to create a shirt for my daughter (she does like this one - wore it to school today. I had to modify the sleeves a little first, however - took a little off the bottom to make them tighter).


It was done almost exactly the same way as the one in the previous post. Here's the pattern:

I used another XXL t-shirt from my stash (purchased at the same yard sale, also for 25 cents, making the cost of this shirt $1.25 - $1 for the pattern, 25 cents for the t-shirt). As a quick reminder:

1. Cut the sleeves off the t-shirt, cut the shoulder seams, cut one side seam, to make the t-shirt lie flat.

2. Cut the pattern front and back from the t-shirt (fold as needed). Remember, you can use the existing hem from the t-shirt.

3. Cut the pattern sleeves from the t-shirt sleeves (cut the underarm seam of the sleeves first, to make them lie flat).

4. Sew the shirt as usual.
