One Shoulder Ruffle Shirt – Upcycled for ME!


So…you blew your budget Christmas shopping, and now have nothing to wear on New Years Eve! Tell me about it. Have an old long sleeve T Shirt on hand? Let me show you what I did…

Would have been nice if I had ironed that T Shirt in the ‘Before’ picture…right? Lol

I had an old V Neck on hand (regular neck will do), that I turned into a fabulous knit top for any fun night on the town! Total cost = $0. Gotta love that!

Here’s how…

What I forget to say in that picture, is to sew after pinning!!! Could you imagine walking around with pins sticking in you?! OUCH! But I am not joking when I say this took me under an hour to do. Probably less, but I wasn’t timing.

And seeing my husband’s jaw drop when I asked him to take pictures of me…

Priceless 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…

Happy Sewing!
