well, hello everybody! and welcome to a fun little green diy today. i have been waiting to post this guy for a while now because i am super EXCITED about it. it was a big hooray moment for me when i finished and i felt super duper proud of myself too! i love those little moments in life :)
well a while back tom and i cleaned out our dinky little closet and we were getting rid of unwanted clothes and he was going to get rid of this really cute buffalo shirt that i adored! sadly it was waaay too big for me, way too long, the sleeves were saggy and i always like a good tee to be a bit snug around my torso....so it got me thinking....i can totally fix this!
first i measured myself and with chalk started putting my cut lines on the shirt keeping in mind the seams. then i got to cutting and sewing. as you all know i am a HUGE fan of collars aaaand peter pan collars are my favorite so i had to add one to this guy to make it that extra bit of girlie cuteness.
i found a tutorial on line (this one was great and i LOVE the shape of the collar too), used some old black fabric i had laying around and got to cutting and sewing and my too big buffalo shirt became.....
i am totally in love with it!! it is the perfect mix of funky and trendy, which is what i really like about my own personal style. i have two other items that i am fixing at the moment and will share those as soon as they are ready. i feel like i haven't made so much stuff for myself in a long time and i really LOVE it! any reason why i love being a crazy craft lady :)
