#24 Back to School: Black Shirt Jacket with Lace T

·      This is #24 for my “Back to School Wardrobe”.

My goal is 10 Re-fashions each month for 12 months. Shopping from the closet only!!!

BEFORE:

·      From the closet: Already Re-fashioned Black over-shirt. Collar had been removed and hem cut straight.  Sleeves were still too long.

·      From the closet: Light weight check pants needed a hem.

·      From the Re-fashion stash, white t needed length.

STEPS:

·      SHIRT: Remove black sleeves from the shirt. Trim 1 ½ inches to shorten. Re-insert.

·      PANTS: Simple machine stitched hem.

·      WHITE T: Add 2 rows of already gathered 3-row lace. This added length and kept the thin t from rolling up.

AFTER:

•   Shirt jacket covers a snug t-shirt, Lace lengthens and controls roll up.

WHAT I LEARNED:

It would be labor intensive to remove the cuffs to shorten the shirt sleeves. I left the shoulders wide to wear shirt jacket style.

This t was a snug fit. Stretch the t when applying the lace to gain size.

Ready for school
