So do you end up with clothes in your closet that you never wear? I do and it drives me crazy, many times I will buy something and get it home and it just doesn't work, but for some reason I keep it around. That is what happened with this shirt
I really love the print but after one wash it shrunk, awwwgh. I tried to wear it a few times after, but I found I was always pulling on it. I felt uncomfortable the whole time I had it on. It was not an expensive shirt, but like I said I liked it. Soooo, I decided I would make it work. I stared by cutting the neck detail off and put it onto a solid pink tee.
I it was an okay solution,
I wore it once this way, but I felt a bit "clownish" and the goal was for me to feel comfortable in it again.
So onto the second version.
I traces around my favorite perfume bottle (Does anyone else use Sake by Fresh? It is to die for). I ended up cutting most of the shirt into circles, then started hand sewing them onto one side of the neckline.
Much better results, no more clown shirt.
I love this version.
So what do you think of my shirt remodel? I have a few more I am working on also.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend my lovelies.

beyond impressed. seriously.
Nice reuse of the fabric.
That looks great! I have a ton of shirts that I don't wear, I need to do this!
Love the t shirt! show us how you scrunch the circles next time. Im putting that perfume on my list.
Aha, I love the last version, too :)
Oh man, shrunken shirts are the worst! But I think it was worth it, beaus that last shirt looks amazing. Thank you for the picture of it on. I have a hard time liking clothes that are just lying flat. I don't have enough imagination, I guess. But it looks so pretty when you are wearing it!

Very cute!!! I have a few random shirts laying around, and maybe someday I'll do something like that with them too! You bloggers keep inspiring me. :)
Now that is super cute. I like it much better than the ruffle around the neck! I definitely need to clean out my closets and do some revamping!
