Yellow Linen Tunic from Over-sized shirt

After: Linen tunic
Before: Over-sized / Old lace
The main garment fabric in a refashion garment may still be in good shape. Trim may be worn or shrunken. 

 Before:

  • Several sizes too large, thin yellow linen.
  • Lace had shrunk pulling fabric out of line

After:

  • Lace removed from neckline.
  • Six inches cut from hem /sleeves.
  • Small seam taken on sleeve cap.
  • Wrinkles come back quickly.
  • This makes a good summer casual shirt.


Before: Oversized Tunic
Before: Lace had shrunk


Bonus: Napkins
BONUS: Coffee mugs, snack napkins. Backed with white cotton stash fabric.

Proportion is such a big part of a good fit. Not big changes, but a big difference.

I love that you use up your ends right away, making mug mats and napkins.
