Jazz-up Your Boring Shirts



Mum gave me an old shirt of hers that she didn't like, and it was really dull and I would never have worn it. So I decided to upcycle it into something that I was more likely to choose from my wardrobe. First of all, I took it up, literally by cutting along the bottom then doing a rolled hem. Easy peasy.



Then I added some leatherette on the collar to make it more defined and more interesting.


Then I cut a pocket off of an old pair of shorts, and, after unpicking the original pocket, I sewed it on. Then I added a line of studs from the shorts, just 'cos I felt like it.


That is all I did for this shirt, but I had a lot of ideas that I was thinking of doing, so there will be some more in the near future...

I Finally Got A Mannequin!

I FINALLY have a a mannequin. Which is a great relief. I am so used to having to hang my projects in my wardrobe, and on the back of my door!

This is the shirt that I made a while ago:
