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.
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.
I chopped off the bottom of the shirt, from waist down, and put that aside.
Using a seam ripper, I removed the front pockets and sleeves.
Basing if off the shape on an existing fitted tank top, I resized the top half of the shirt.
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.
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!
I quickly whipped up two bows and applied them over the darts.
