This week has been a bit hectic with little time for creative things. It's a garage sale weekend. I hate garage sales. The house feels like mass chaos as you're going through everything and piling it up for pricing. I don't function well in that kind of clutter. I guess the feeling of purging, though, makes up for it.
However, yesterday, in the midst of the chaos, I remembered several half finished projects and thought, "Surely I can finish just one." I'll tell you, even a minute of a creativity, is soothing to the soul. Stepping away for just a moment has a way of clearing the mind.
I saw this idea to re-purpose a men's button down shirt in an issue of Sew It All. While I love the concept and the shirt in the photo, I'm still trying to decide if I like mine (and also if I should re-do the ric rac since I didn't really follow those instructions too well). It just sort of fits like a men's shirt. Nevertheless, it will be another good one to have for Africa.
Any fun creativity come out of your studio this week? If so, be sure to link up with Jennifer @ Studio JRU for Sneak Peek Friday!

Very cute! It looks very feminine to me!
light weight and cool, sounds good to me, hard to believe it began as a man's shirt!
I think it looks great. Would not have guessed it was a man's shirt.
It think it's cute! If you wear it a few times & still don't like how it fits, what if you put some darts in it?
Love that ric rac trim! Darling project!!
I really like it! I have been trying to think of some shirt ideas for myself that are loose and breezy like this. I also have a (large) pile of half-finished projects so it feels great to get some done!
looks great!
Jen, I think it is really cute on you!! Love the little ric rac trim and the gathered yoke! blessings ~ tanna
Jen- I love it! It looks great on you!
Oh! So cute! I love using my dh's old work shirts for night shirts...somehow, it is like I am "inside his skin"...I never thought of this idea! But I will definitely be making some cute shirts for myself now! I like the ric rac - how would you change it? Have it peek out from the hemlines, instead of on top of them? I like it the way it is, but the other way could be good, too...it looks great on you ☺
This is such a sweet project! It is so cute on you! The feeling of accomplishment from purging is worth the work and clutter. I hope your garage sale is successful!
