My husband cheers for my rival
yes
You heard me, the {shhhh} "Other team"
So, when he was in a golf tourney and won a UTAH t-shirt you can guess how thrilled he was
He got home and tossed it to me and said "I don't want this ugly shirt...here."
I have been wearing the boxy mens shirt as a cleaning shirt for quite some time.
I decided it was high time that I wear it as a cute girl shirt
especially since the BIG Game is tomorrow
GO UTES!
You will need:
Pins
Fabric sissors
Sewing machine
chalk
A woman's cut shirt
A: Mens boxy shirt
B: Lay the woman's shirt over the top and line it up in the top center
C: See how your shirt doesn't even go past the shoulders
D: Draw your chalk outline around the sleeve line. I put pins in on the seem of the white shirt so that when I put the sleeve back I could see where to draw the line.
E: This is what your chalk outline should look like.
F: Put pins all along the chalk line. Cut out the shirt.
G: YOUR SHIRT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS
Now for the sleeves.
H: I used the piece of the sleeve that I cut off
I: Chalk around the other part of the sleeve. Again I pinned the white shirt on the seem to have a line to draw with the chalk. Make sure you are starting from the top wear the fabric folds. This way you have one piece when you open it up.
J: The sleeve should resemble this.
K: I cut off the collar and took the front down a bit to make it a more "girlie" shirt. (I of course forgot to take a pic of this step) See the final pic for the ides.
The sleeves should look somewhat like this when placed on the shirt.
You can now un-pin the shirt and turn it inside out.
L: Pin the sleeve to the shirt. This is tricky I had to pin it twice because i pinned it so the stitching would show the first time. Before you sew anything turn it right side out and this will help you determine if it is right.
I sewed the sleeves on first. Once the sleeves were on I sewed the straight line down the sides.
It literally took one hours to do.
So easy and so much cuter than before
Not so boxy men's shirt anymore
This was a little rushed so if you have any questions just leave a comment and I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.
If you make this I would love to see it so send me a blog link or email me.
Enjoy
And one last thing
GO UTES!!!
