Men's Shirt
I came across a picture some time  ago in Green Craft  magazine. I knew when I found a cool shirt I was going to make one for myself. While thrifting, I picked up a few men's shirt thinking I'd make aprons, but this particular shirt stood out. Orange is one of my favorite colors and I can't resist  soft worn cotton. In just a few easy steps, I was able to refashion this men's shirt and add a new piece to my fall wardrobe. This smock is great for fall, and it can be worn in a variety of ways.

Add some trim, I used large black ric rac down front.

I started by removing the sleeves.


Then I reshaped the armhole, to fit my shoulder.

Next I flipped the sleeves and reattached them to the armhole on each side of shirt.


That's it! A cute smock!

  1. Project runway here you come. That's great way to reuse a man's shirt. I love the idea and styling.

    Thanks for sharing this cool idea.
