Men's Button-up Shirt to Maternity Smock Top


As a fan of refashioning, you may already know this. But incase it's slipped you by I wanted to let you know that Miss P's 'The Refashioners' challenge is BACK!!! The sewing bloggers who she invited to take part have finished their homework and their creations are being put on display to inspire and delight on Miss P's blog all this week and next. There are ten participants in total, with some seasoned refashioners in the mix, and some who are newer to making garments from existing garments, and I'd really recommend you head over to check out their awesome transformations. 


I was one of the lucky bloggers to have been asked by Miss P to participate. My starting point was this nice stripy cotton men's work shirt which I turned into the maternity-friendly smock top you see pictured below. This top style doesn't have to be for maternity, the proportions can be tweaked to make a 'normal' garment just as easily. Head over to today's post on Miss P's blog if you'd like a step-by-step run through of how to create your own version!


Happy Refashioning!!!

very cute Zoe, I'm looking at doing a similar type of maternity refashion for a long sleeve being that we're in winter here in Australia
