hmmm… how long can i drag this blog meme out?\u00c2\u00a0 i haven’t finished showing you all the fun clothes i’ve made recently!\u00c2\u00a0 okay, here’s another shirt that went from an adult size medium:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

to about a size 2T (a little big on my little guy, but that just means he can wear it for two summers, maybe?):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

i took inspiration from this post<\/a>, except that since the collar on the original shirt didn’t seem overly huge on him, i cut the front and back of the shirt out of the top of the shirt, leaving the collar and shoulders intact.\u00c2\u00a0 all i really did was shorten it, bring the sides in and cut new sleeves (out of the original sleeves, no hemming!).\u00c2\u00a0 i will say that the button spacing is slightly odd (either the top button is buttoned and he looks a bit stiff and formal, or it’s left open and he could show off chest hair if he had any), but other than that, this was a totally simple re-do and i’m pretty pleased with the results!\u00c2\u00a0 by the way, i did use a pattern for this re-do.\u00c2\u00a0 it was “kai’s shirt” from weekend sewing<\/em> by heather ross<\/a>.<\/p>\n
