Another Shirt Refashion - with Obi Belt
Here's another one of my shirt refashions that (thankfully) only took two days to complete because I put off other things (dishes, house work) to make it happen. My husband said "But you just made a shirt!" Yeah. So? Right now he has at least twice as many shirts as I do, and I don't like most of mine! So I'm taking time to make some shirts (and other clothes) for myself that fit and that I really like.
Just an aside -- I'm going to start saving up for a coverstitch machine. It's basically a serger with the added ability to sew a "coverstitch". It will make working with knits a whole lot easier.
Back to the shirt... here's what I started with. I loved the print, but definitely not the style of the cut. Boring!
So I bought a little bit (1/4 yard) of contrasting fabric and turned it in to this --
I think I'm becoming a wee bit obsessed with obi belts. I'll be making a leather one from my stash at some point.
