once was old, now is new

Although this isn't the greatest picture, I thought I'd share what I whipped up one

night!

This shirt sat getting all dusty in the back of Devin's closet and was he was finally ready to part without it. It was headed straight to a garbage bag ready to be shipped to the DI.

...BUT... was luckily saved by muah!

After looking at it, I thought, "I've always liked those Lacoste shirts. Maybe I could

make this shirt fit me..."

I figured it was worth a try. I mean, if I messed it up, it was on it's way out anyway.

So I took it downstairs and started cutting the sides of the shirt.

I sewed up the sides.

Realized it needed to go in a little on the side more...for those lady curves.

Cut and sew again.

Then onto the sleeves. Oh those boxy-boyish sleeves. I cut a triangle out of those and sewed those together.

Tried it on and realized I needed a little more off the sleeves.

Cut again and sew up the sleeves.

And voila! A new, form-fitting, long, 3/4 inch sleeves Lacoste polo shirt!

(since then Devin has been taking notes on the clothes in his closet. Probably making sure I haven't made plans for any of this other shirts!)

Oh and as a side note: we were headed to Moab the next day with my family and I wanted to test it out on my stylish sisters! We know each other so well and usually notice when someone has something new on, so I wanted to see what they said when they saw me wear it. Long story short: it passed the tests with flying colors. :)
