Some of you asked how I maked the refreshing of my shirt.
There it is:
1. Turn your shirt right side in, mark the center of the front and iron on a thin strip of stabilizer.
2. Cut along the strip
3. Cut two strips of a matching fabric about 2 cm longer then the center strip, iron on a light stabilizer iron in half and sew each strip right sides together on your shirt.
4. turn your strips right sides together and sew along the upper and lower shirt seamline. Be careful and don´t sew trough the shirt. then turn the strip again.
4. This the inside of the shirt.
5. You can now add a shape which will regulate the lower width of your shirt, sew it to the inside of your stripes.
6. Topstitch your stripes, add buttons and you have done.
The last step I havn´t done in my picture because I think the pink shape would be better white on my shirt.
I hate for my shirts to 'grab' me, but if I get them a larger size they slide off my shoulder, one side or the other, because my shoulders are narrower.(Take notice-I did not say my tummy and hips are wider!-lol) Bodies change over so many years of childbearing, menopause, medicines, and plain ole good eating! Can anyone else help with excuses?-lol
1-If a person had a stained front shirt, couldn't you use the center sleeve length, to make the inset down the center front, on the makeover shirt in the link?
2- And if the stain was high enough, I wonder if the cowl neck scarf could be made from the lower front and back of stained shirt?
