You Will Need
-
Step 1Cut shirt across the chest, directly under the armpits.
(Can you see that stain on the upper right chest? Hubby was sad to lose a shirt, but I was excited to gain material for refashioning.)
-
Step 2Pleat to fit your waist. I created two pleats on each front panel....
-
Step 3and six across the back.
(1" pleats, spaced 2" apart).
-
Step 4Run a basting stitch across the top edge to hold the pleats in place.
-
Step 5If you need to take out excess fabric from the waist but don't want to go crazy with the pleats, take a bit from each side by pinning and stitching. This can also help take some poof out of the hip area.
-
Step 6Double turn top edge under and stitch again.
-
Step 7Add a snap as needed to keep the top of the placket closed.
-
Step 8And voila! As you can see, the buttons only extended so far down the shirt placket, so I stitched the bottom a little more closed.
