Button-Down One; The Blue One

Hello Refashion Co-op. I am starting to work on a pile of button-down shirts I have been saving. I didn't know what I wanted to do but now I have several so I can try out a few refashion ideas. This blue shirt had some damage in a couple spots so that directed the new look.


I cut away the sleeves and collar. That took away the ruined areas.


It took much longer than it should have to decide on the black bias tape for the edges. I tried floral and wound up making what looked like pajamas.


I like the black, it looks a bit retro. For more details on this top, including the pajama look, go to I Can Work With That.
And thanks for reading.

  1. The black binding really works well, looks very stylish. It was worth the time working on the fit as well.
