Blue Flannel

I LOVE flannel. Mostly because I like to be warm in cold weather, but also because it is soft and versatile!

I found a blue and white flannel with red lines at the local Salvation Army, and thought it looked like it would fit. I was more than a little disappointed when I got home. It wouldn't button in front and the sleeves made my arms look like sausages. I don't know what happened to that picture.....

However, after my wildly successful yellow sweater refashion, my inspiration tank was over flowing. So I started off unpicking the seams under the arm and down the sides. 

Then I took some grey jersey (there was a huge hunk of it I found at the thrift store) and cut some long 4" or so strips and sewed them into opening I just made. (This post is sadly low on photographic genius today) 

Here is what became of it:

I can conquer any refashion!!!!! Rawr!

Now I have a flannel shirt that fits! I probably could have lengthened it in the middle with more of the same jersey for a tunic feel but I work outside on the farm a good bit and this seemed practical. 

Thanks for reading!
