I love my new up-cycled cardigan! This gray shirt was the same style as the green one in the picture below, long sleeve, high neck, and a bad fit. It needed a facelift! I started by cutting the sleeves off, then cutting the front right up the middle and getting rid of the awful neck line. I also took 3 inches off the bottom so I'd have some fabric for ruffles. I made the ruffles just like I did for the yellow t-shirt dress. A tie finished it off, although, I'm not sure I like the tie since it doesn't lay nice. What do you think? I have the green shirt, and a pink one in the same style that are on the chopping block next!

What about a big fun button to connect the two sides? or even more simply a hook and eye.
ReplyDeleteI considered a hook and eye, but I wasn't sure. I also considered a small pearl button. After looking at the picture again, I think I really need to change the tie!
