Never Underestimate!

05/29/2010 By Christie

Don’t underestimate how simple it can be to take a shirt that you don’t find so cute and do something simple to it to make it into something you will wear!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love ruffles, but that one made it seem so un-cute to me!  So I just folded up the ruffle, sewed it, and cut the extra off–making sure to keep that ruffle!  (I found the shirt at Target on clearance for $6.00)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!!!

    I may have purchased that exact shirt in a different print (without trying it on)…and you’re right. The ruffle makes it way unflattering. I was trying to decided if it was worth a return trip, but now I think I’m going to hack it up.

    That is so funny! I have seen that shirt on the clearance eack a few times and each time I thought, “That shirt is adorable minus the awkward ruffle on the hips.” Duh! I didn’t think about cutting it off. Great work, Christie! You rock!
