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!

Genius. I’m in love with that headband too!
OMG…she is just too cute. And the shirt is great too..LOL!
how fun! I am seeing this as a cute dress with a little belt/bow in the middle too! I may have to try that!
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!
