Gathered Collar Shirt Tutorial

While sitting in Chipolte the other day (yummm, love that place!), a little girl walked by wearing the cutest shirt. My thought? Du Du Du Dah – I can make that shirt!

With a men’s collared shirt from the thrift store and some thread, I give you the gathered collar shirt. It took absolutely no time to whip up, and I am thrilled with the results.

The best part? I finished it just in time for our oddly warm 67 degree day!

Happy Sewing everyone!

    What an adorable idea. I have a couple of my husband’s old shirts sitting around waiting to be recycled. I think I’ll be using this idea!

    Awesome! I read in your About Me page that you are trying to use software for your patterns. Which one are you trying? And who designed your blog? Love the colors!

    very cute and so easy! I just have to tell you my 8 month old daughter Charlotte was sitting on my lap when I was looking at this post, and she seemed to like your daughter a lot! She was grinning and having a one sided conversation with her. hehe!
