I know pin-tucks are usually placed closer to the center, but I didn't want to take off the collar and I needed to get rid of some excess width on the shoulders anyway, so I placed them further out than normal. I think it adds a lovely twist with them going over the shoulder and all the way down the back...
I added a full step-by-step on my blog Of Dreams and Seams. It is a very fun and quick project and should work with a wide variety of oversize-shirts!
Happy sewing to you all out there!
Best, Katja

This is a nice technique for a decorative narrowing of the body of the shirt! Very clever!
The placement of the pocket is fun! :o)

Love the makeover. I too noticed the pocket and like what you did. I am definitely going to look at your blog as I have too many men's shirts that need a makeover!
