i've been daydreaming about making my own clothes since i can remember and i finally had an opportunity to learn when i started interning at DIY Hards. for my first project, i wanted to do something simple to introduce me to the sewing machine so i chose to alter a plain XL white t-shirt into something i would actually wear. i've been obsessed with peter pan collars so that was the main addition to the shirt, along with fitting it to my size, altering the neckline, & adding black piping along the sleeves and bottom edge. i threw a few buttons on for good measure!
funny side note: i've been joking with sarah about the first time i wear it--that i'm almost sure to stain it beyond repair. well, i wore it out to a nacho party a few nights ago and yes, managed to get a few specks of guacamole down my front. thankfully it doesn't look too serious!
pffff.
