A New Twist on an Old Shirt

I've been reading several sewing blogs lately and these women amaze me with their abilities and creativity. A new term to me is "re-fashioning" -- which basically means take something you have that you don't love and re-fashion it into something better. I decided to give it a try. I was browsing Anthropologie's website and came across a pretty basic, but cute shirt. Here it is:

Please don't mind the fact that it's wrinkled (I hate ironing). It's really cute on and is just a little something better than a basic t-shirt. Nothing in my closet is safe from my scissors and thread now...
