Shirt Refashion: Daisy Fuentes Tunic

The other day while looking for fabric to make a skirt I found this dress. (excuse my face, I was multitasking by taking pictures while I was on the phone. now you know what I look like when I talk on the phone)


I thought that I had already cut a chunk out of it but when I looked at it I realized that I hadn't. I loved this dress and wore it like a shirt but my man-shoulders were apparently too large for the armholes. One day when I stretched just the wrong way, I heard tearing on the sleeve. There were quite a few of these tears so it was either use the fabric for scrap or do what I did...


I seam-ripped the sleeves and made it a sleeveless dress. I turned over the fabric twice and sewed around the openings. I paired it with my black leggings and wore it to church on Sunday. I love it without the sleeves.


I wore it with my Layers of my Heart necklace with an add-on briolette. And this (below) is what happens when I have hubby do the photoshoot. He loves to take so many pictures that I get some great outtakes (and some shots that will never go on the blog).

  2. That is soo cute! Such a smart idea. I was just thinking today of how I could add sleeves to a tank top I have. Wish it were as easy as cutting them off. I love your shirt refashions though.. more please! ;)
