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...
Such a cool shirt! The studs add a punky-I-can-stab-you-with-my-boob-so-don't-come-too-close look - love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much - it was one of those projects that I didn't really plan and just went with the flow!
