Figment Big Shirt - Fixed


Bought a shirt at Walt Disney World, in Epcot - a Figment long sleeved, something like a sweatshirt, made of man-made fabrics, more like a woven. It was made as a 'short-shirt', for baring the midriff. Why anyone wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt like shirt would want to bare their midriff, I can NOT imagine. So, while I like the art that is on the shirt, the Figment in multicolor, the shirt wasn't wearable as it was. We had to buy the very biggest size, and then change it to make it fit. The above was the first pin up of what it might become.

I slit the front, added a non stretch cotton, and then added a multicolor zipper, and took it in, to make it something that could be worn. Now, it's beautiful!

Man-tailored shirt made for a woman


I haven't put the buttons on, or ironed this yet, but finished the sewing on it today. I am still considering button color, gold or clear.
 Luckily, there's lots of time before we get to long sleeve weather... The chambray blue and tiny gold doves makes a nice fabric for this.


 Unfortunately, I though the shoulders are right didn't measure everywhere before I made it, so it doesn't fit me. I will give it to someone who I hope will love it as much as I would have, should it have buttoned up...
