Hey hey, here is my first restyle sewing project. In no way could I make this a DIY because I very much just took each step as it came. I had to redo the peplum a couple of times and I still wanted it to be more pleated. Also the collar is way too boxy, but all disclaimers aside I love how it turned out!
I am really excited to get my lines straighter and perfect this style of shirt because these are my fave and all it took were 2 $4 t-shirts (1 small and 1 XL) and my sewing machine:)
What are some projects you have been working on?
See how I styled this top here.
Take a look at my ready to ship items in my etsy shop!
besitos,

Looks great. One tip: pin your pins PERPENDICULAR to your seam and machine. Then you can sew right up to them. It also secures the fabric better. Weave in and out of the fabric twice to keep them in place, and only grab a small part of the fabric. Make sense? :)
Can't wait to see your next project!

I made a very similar one to this a while back and it really is the best, it's so comfy because lets face it it's still a t-shirt, but it looks super cute at the same time :) I need to get back to the t-shirt outlet soon because I need one in every color!
