Men’s Shirt Re-Fashion

I found this pattern for making a girls skirt out of a men’s button front shirt in this book, Never Been Stitched. The book is full of fun new sew or low sew projects. Great for involving kids!

Essentially you get a men’s shirt and cut it up, creating a skirt. I bought a size XL shirt and it made a size 8 girls skirt.

Sally wasn’t too thrilled about the idea until I made this cute whale shirt to go along with it. I used some of the left over fabric and used Heat n Bond EZ sheets that you run through the printer. Click HERE for the whale pattern.

I even used the existing front pocket from the shirt to be a high side pocket on the skirt.

I Whale always Love You

I am loving anything with whales!! I had to make something fun for Valentine’s Day! You can make one too!! Scroll down for the pattern and tutorial!

This one is with not so traditional Valentine’s colors – I needed something to hang in the guest bathroom.

To make this Whale Valentine’s Day Art follow the steps below:

Click HERE for the purple and aqua “I whale always love you”
Click HERE for the red & aqua one
Click HERE for a neutral color one with cream background and grey letters

Download whale and heart image HERE. Draw the images on a piece of fusable webbing (Heat Bond or Wonder Under etc). Cut it out larger than the outline of the whale (do not cut on the line). Using a HOT iron, press the whale onto the WRONG side of your fabric for a few seconds. Do the same thing for the heart.
