Simple Men's Shirt Upcycle


Men's shirts are plentiful in thrift stores, and often they are in great condition!  I picked one up at our local Salvation Army Thrift Store for $2.99.  It was even a fairly high quality "designer" brand!  I put it on my dress dummy, Betsy, backwards, and proceeded to cut off the collar and cuffs.


With some quilting cotton I had on hand in my stash, I made bias binding and a sash for more feminine shaping.



And here's the final result:

    Thanks for sharing

    When they first came into existence, shirts were first worn by men as an undergarment. However as times changed, not only did the shirt become a part of the outward apparel but it also evolved significantly in terms of size, style and type.
