i dug through the cast-off pile and found this black t-shirt shirt my husband has never worn. i am not sure why he didn't like it, it is a soft but thick cotton.
i removed the sleeves and took in the sides. i then used one sleeve for the neck ruffles and the other sleeve for the cap sleeves i added.
easy peasy!
I am participating in DIY day at A Soft Place to Land. Go check out all the inspiring projects!

How adorable! I love when you do these refashioned posts - makes me wish I could sew!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing it.
That looks fantastic. I too love your refashioned items!
Super Cute! Inspiring. I am gonna have to try this one! Thanks for the great idea!
I love this one as much as your daughter's. I sew, so want to know if you cut off the sleeves or took apart the seams? And you used the elastic thread in the bobbin? Thanks! I'm going to try!
I love the think ruffle collar! Makes me wish I could sew a straight line. May with more practice.
I adore your shirt! We need a tutorial please!
I want one!!!
You are AMAZING!! It looks great on you.
fun blog Erin! I knew you were talented but wow, so fun to see what you can do! miss you guys, it was so great to see you this summer.
Alright. I REALLY need to learn how to sew.
Love this project!
maybe you can come over and teach me and emily one day! i've got lots in my cast-off pile!
Nice work! i love it, I think Austin has a long sleeved blue t-shirt I may steal as well!.
Elastic thread again? I love that stuff!
thanks everyone! i am glad that you're not sick of the refashions... cause i've got more coming your way soon!
susan- thanks! the existing shoulder seam came past my shoulder so there was no need to pick apart the seam. i just cut the sleeve off close to where i wanted the new shoulder seam to hit. does this make sense? i am crap at explaining things! and yes, i used elastic thread in the bobbin for the sleeves and for the neck ruffles. although you could use a regular thread and a basting stitch to gather also.
mauri- thank you!! like i mentioned above i am crap at explaining so i will work on a tutorial but i can't guarantee it. :)
i would be happy to have a sewing night with you local ladies and make one of these shirts... let me know, it would be so fun!
love it! truly I do! I hate to sew... :(
