Hello Refashion Co-op. This is my last button-down refashion for a while. I had fun with them, but I got to the end of my button-down stash. This shirt was a very heavy linen. It felt too heavy to be a shirt. It almost felt like a jacket.
I wanted to make a pair of shorts. My inspiration was this video. I cut off the shoulders and the arms. I used the arms to add on to the fabric from the body. I needed a wider piece of fabric.
I folded the fabric over and made a shorts shape. Then I stitched them together and added an elastic waist.
I love the loose fit, they are so comfortable.
If you want more details and pictures go to, I Can Work With That.
Thanks for reading, now go make something fun for yourself.
Really inspirational. I like how that resulted!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! They look like they'll be cool and comfy for summer. I have a linen shirt in my refash stash that I'm thinking might find themselves converted to shorts soon too. Thanks for the inspiration!
