Ruffled T-Shirt Makeover {Sew Easy!!}

 

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??

{Featured On}

It's always exciting to see my projects show up somewhere in the internet world. I love seeing my posts repinned on Pinterest from my Life is {Sew}Daily board. Hopefully, people actually use the tutorials they pin on Pinterest. I try, but have to admit I've pinned hundreds of things that I haven't tried yet. Some are just for inspiration, but others I really want to try!! Last week, I was looking at my blog traffic and noticed that my Ruffled V-Neck T-shirt was featured on Heidi Klum on AOL.com in the Crafty Clothing Revamp. {Slide #10}

You can view the tutorial for the Ruffled V-Neck T here.

I was also happy to have my Bow Tie Tutorial featured on Tip Junkie last week! That is one of my most popular tutorials pinned on Pinterest and it's one of my favorites, also! I love making the bowties and have sold lots of them in my etsy shop and to local friends. {Currently not in the shop, but hopefully soon.}

It was exciting to be featured! The whole reason I do this blog is to help people see how easy it is to make something with their own hands whether by sewing or not. It's very simple, but also very rewarding.

What DIY are you hoping to try?

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.

It is really just way too easy. So, here's the how-to in pictures. You may want to refer to yesterday's post for more detailed instructions.

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!
Here's the How-To:

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