Three days. That's how long I had my latest migraine. Ugh. Certainly puts a damper on being creative, I'll tell you.
Still working on the parfait t-shirt - that one should definitely be finished by tomorrow. I was just sitting here at the computer and glanced over at another shirt that was gifted to me by a friend for makeover purposes - all of a sudden I had a flash of inspiration - and I knew I could knock this one out pretty quick.
The Before - a black and white plaid shirt, size 1x, shirred in the front with elastic thread:

| LOL! My camera does NOT like this black and white print! |
Getting started: first, try and figure out what I'm going to do with this shirt.
 |
| Hmm...this looks promising. |

 |
And off comes the button plackets and the collar.

 |
| Looking better already! |
Trimmed about three inches off the bottom of the shirt, and about the same on both cuffs. Then it's time for new hems!
 |
| Sewing it down. |

Did a little creative cutting & stitching,
and it became ties for the front & side. |
 |
Remember the three inches I cut
off the bottom of the shirt?
|
 |
| Add some lace I bought at the Assistance League Store for a whole dollar, and voila! A new shirt! |
And in case you were wondering, the Sewing Assistant was there to help every step of the way:
 |
| What? Pretty white danglies not for me? |
