Men’s Shirt Refashion
You Will Need...
- over-sized men's shirt, thrifted or from your husband's closet
- 1/2 yard of coordinating material for the sides
- sewing machine & thread
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Measure your bust, waist, hips, and butt, minus 1 inch from the bust, 2 inches from the waist, 3 inches from the hips & 4 inches from the butt. Divide these measurements by four (because youll be folding the shirt in half). Fold the shirt in half and mark it using measurement calculated above. Cut out the sides of the shirt on your markings.
Step 2
Cut out a piece of coordinating material like a long triangle starting with 1 inch (plus seam allowance) and gradually expanding to 2 inches at the waist, 3 inches at the hips, and 4 inches at the butt.
Place right sides together and sew, one side at a time.
Flip inside out and youre done!
