Dress to Shirt Refashion

 Hello Refashion Co-op. Summer is here! It is warm where I live and in a minute it's going to be HOT! I like to wear linen in summer but a lot of linen seems to come with a nylon lining. Like this dress. I hate nylon. It is hot and itchy, it doesn't breathe. It is awful in summer.

I made this shirt from this beautiful linen dress. That allowed me to get rid of the lining. 

I cut the skirt off the dress and used a pattern to cut out a sleeveless shirt. I liked the pleated details at the hem and thought it would look good on a shirt hem. 

With some creative placement, I had just enough of the skirt left over to made some little cap sleeves. 

This linen shirt will be cool and comfortable in summer. Thanks for reading along, for more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.
