Anthro-Inspired Tee {Tutorial}

I have a favorite tee, but after several times of wearing it, it shrunk lengthwise. There's nothing worse than a t-shirt that doesn't cover your waistband. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I cut off the long sleeves and made a ruffle. Then, sewed it to the bottom edge. Here's the how-to in pictures.

Kids' Ruffled T-Shirts {Tutorial}

As you can see from this post and this post, I am addicted to making short sleeved ruffled t-shirts out of long sleeved tees and turtlenecks. This time around, I did some for my girls. I found $2 long sleeve t-shirts at JCPenney on clearance and bought 5 different colors. Since they wear the same size, they can share these cute shirts all spring/summer long. Have you made any yet??

Turtleneck to Ruffled T-Shirt {Tutorial}

As I mentioned in this post, I love ruffled t-shirts! It's just that I don't see many of them in the store that I like. I met up with a friend today and we were talking about how we love t-shirts, but they aren't long enough or cute enough. Then, just a couple hours later, I was at the mall with Hubs and we went in JCPenney. I just happened to find a whole bunch of turtlenecks that were clearanced for $2 each, so I picked one up. I realized right off the bat that the quality was really nice and also that it was longer than a regular t-shirt. And then it struck me...for $2, I can attempt to make a ruffled t-shirt out of these. So, I bought two. I have to say, I love the finished result. And Hubs was very surprised at how nice it looks! {He was skeptical when I told him my plans.} Oh, and the thing about using a turtleneck - the 'after' neckline is modest and isn't low cut like most t-shirts! I love that!

If you make your own, I'd love to see a pic!
