SOOO, I was embroidering Phillip's shirts, like I mentioned in my prior post, and everything was going great. I was putting a purple B on a purple and white pin stripe non-iron shirt. I went to take it off the loom when I finished and... OOOPPS! I accidentally sewed a sleeve under the B. Honey wasn't too thrilled; however, I was actually surprised that he wasn't toooo upset. This was a nice Joseph Banks shirt and one of the few purple shirts in his closet.
The next day, I was browsing Pinterest and came across a tutorial to take a men's dress shirt and refashion it to a maternity top. I'm not preggers, but still thought it was a cute idea so I gave it a shot. I cut off the sleeves and the collar, shirred around the waist to cinch it, made a ruffle out of white cotton fabric and added the ruffle around the neck and down the front opening of the shirt. It was my first time shirring, so I know I can do better.
I wouldn't wear this without a cardigan because the sleeve holes are too big. I guess I could make adjustments... Hmmmm ideas. I also made a headband with a pretty flower and Phillip a bow tie (he's on a bow tie and wild pants kick). He didn't feel like modeling tonight, so I will save the bow tie for another post. Sorry for the fuzzy photos... Enjoy!
