Old Mens T-shirt Sewn Into Women's Dolman Tee

 My husband and I are runners so we have a million t-shirts.  I love transforming these boxy, oversized tees into something I will actually want to wear other then for a nightgown. I love this heather grey and wanted to make it into my favorite style tee. I love the comfortable, effortless style of the dolman tee...

It took me about 15 minutes or so. I played around with seams to get the fit right. It's a great new shirt for one of those "I've got nothing to wear" days. I can always count on a dolman! 

Supplies:

• t-shirt
• Sewing machine

DIY intructions: 

Full Video go here (it's old though).

Begin by removing the collar of the shirt, pull to create an off the shoulder look. 

Mark your 1/2 your hip measurement inside the t-shirt so it's even. 

Pleat about 4 inches up by folding accordion folds and pinning through front and back. Do this on both sides. 

Mark your arm hole measurement and pin from the under arm seam to that measurement. 

When you sew, start at the bottom hem and sew up to the under arm seam in a gradual line. Once you reach the underarm seam, lift your presser foot, pivot, and then finish along the sleeve line the sleeve hem.

Cut all the excess interior fabric away or serge the interior.
