Make a Shirt from a Thrifted Shirt

Follow along as I show you how to make a shirt from….. another shirt. I thrifted a denim shirt for $1.91 and created a shirt for me using a photo from Instagram as inspiration. Simplicity pattern 9547 was used.

What a darling blouse. Thank you so much for the inspiration! Gives me the confidence to try something similar.

Refashioning large men's shirts is just the best. I just love reusing the button placket and cuffs and all that.
Plus, the material is often really nice. Thrift stores are full of quality/brand name men's shirts, whereas good quality stuff for women is very scarce.

Cute! Too bad about the focusing issues.

how did you do the bias binding for the sleeves? it looks seemless

I just sewed the strip of bias fabric around the armhole just like you would a sleeve.
