T-Shirt Upcycle....

I was working on one of my cleaning projects when I came across three woman's 1X T-shirts in shades of blue. I remembered I had put them aside for one of those Pinterest ideas. Well, it didn't take me long to ditch the cleaning project in favor of a creative project. I also figured out I had a more useful, modest  plan for Missy  than what I had seen on  Pinterest . And we made quick work of those T-shirts.

What do you think?

The sleeves were suppose to be 3/4 length.... close, right?  The leggings are the long sleeves of the T sewn to an old pair of bike shorts. I ruffled strips of the lightest colored T to dress it up a bit. Now days no one finishes the edges of anything, but I managed to used finished edges on everything without doing them myself  except on the ruffles. The hardest part was fitting the sleeves in those very large holes. Every time I tried to close up the gap I ended with puckers on the skirt sides. It's still not perfect. But close enough.  I could have ironed it.... but I'm not going to. It's a T-shirt, after all!

Missy likes it.

It was a quick project..
