Shirt half fail...

Today's project was to make a shirt that I didn't have to wear an undershirt with.  So I started with one I had already and cut out it's shape in a pair of scrub pants

Scrub pants cut along the seam

Shirt I used as a pattern

Folded in half to make sure it was even(is this redundant?)

Cut off sleeves

Cut new sleeves to put on

made neckline

More than half way there!(or so I thought)

Bahahah.  I tried it up to myself to make sure it would be a good fit and thought, this is so itty bitty.  So I tried it on....and it was.  I had to cut the front in half to make it fit.  Yikes.  Next time I will definitely take into account the stretchiness of the material.  Why didn't I go find a tutorial???  And yes, my hair was awesome that night.

So I was unwilling to give up and chose another shirt to cut apart and make into the front of my new one.

Here are the sleeves

Pin on, then sew

Tada!  If you want to know what I was going for you can take out the middle piece and picture it that way.  I still like it, but now I have to wear a shirt under it.  Bahah.  Half fail...Maybe I will add something on top later.  Any suggestions?

  1. I love it Naomi!! Makes me feel better that I'm not the only person whose projects don't turn out exactly like I'd hoped... I think your "save" is a good one :)
