Another summer shirt

I started out with another man shirt I picked up last year from the thrift store.

Nope, that's not a stain on the front. It's an iron-on! Nothing is easier than an iron-on.

I didn't get much use out of it as a long-sleeve but wasn't sure I wanted to toss it into the donation pile. Then I saw this shirt at Target and thought, "I can do that!"

Using another short sleeve shirt as a pattern, I cut the sleeves off at an angle. I made a casing all the way around each sleeve and ran some 1/2 " elastic through it. Not too snug so I could move my arms.

That's all there is to it! I also added a few narrow darts to the back for shape.

This was a super quick project and really easy. Now I have another shirt made from stuff I already had around the house. Nice!

Nice job! Changing the sleeves instantly turns it into a woman shirt instead of a man shirt. ;-)

Thanks, Petunia!

It's funny, I haven't ever seen a man wearing a puffy sleeved shirt like that but maybe I just need to get out more. ;)
