sew fashionable: a refashioned t-shirt

Today, I thought I’d give my husband a little treat and actually get dressed for the day.

Now, down here, getting dressed is the whole nine yards: hair styled, full makeup on and fashionable outfit.

With the cool front, I found myself lacking lightweight, long-sleeve options. Then, I remembered a cute refashioned t-shirt that I saw at Chic Envelopments.

I had the perfect candidate for my first attempt at refashion.

Following the tutorial, I cut up the middle of the t-shirt,

cut off the collar, and turned the raw edge under to sew a small seam. I however, opted not to use a ribbon.

Now, I’m ready for the day in my new butterfly cardigan.

I feel like a whole new “refashioned” world has been opened to me.  When is the last time that you tried something for the first time?

Until next time,

  1. Quite the cool front, isn’t it? Finally! I found myself feeling a bit underdressed this morning. What a cute idea :)

  4. Hi Sharon,
    I’m so glad you tried this! It turned out so cute. Just a word of warning though….once you start refashioning, you might not be able to stop. :)
    Have a great day!
