Refashioning men’s button-ups is nothing new, but I love following other blogs and seeing what creative spins they put on it. Now, time for my attempt.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 Men's Large Button Up Shirt
  • Needle
  • Thread
  • Seam Ripper
  • Fabric Scissors

Steps (6 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    I chopped off the bottom of the shirt, from waist down, and put that aside.

  2. 2

    Using a seam ripper, I removed the front pockets and sleeves.

  3. 3

    Basing if off the shape on an existing fitted tank top, I resized the top half of the shirt.

  4. 4

    I gathered the bottom strip of fabric, aligned it with the side seams and buttons, and joined it with the top half of the shirt.

  5. 5

    When I realized the top fit well except for under the armpits, I looked up a tutorial for creating darts in a tank top. I did not execute it well, so I needed to create something to hide those darts!

  6. 6

    I quickly whipped up two bows and applied them over the darts.
