Spring Fling- Anthropolgie Shirt Tutorial

Sarah from Welcome to the Good Life

my name is Sarah and i keep a blog over at Welcome to the gOOd life.
it's a diary written by me (and sometimes by my hilarious
husband) of the good and the ugly as a wife, a stay at home mom,
raising two kids under three-just a year apart, and also my weekly DIY
sewing projects.  besides chasing around/cleaning up after my two
kids all day long, i run an online store called S.T Collection where i sell
unique headbands/jewelry and clothes.

so should we get on to my DIY project?


inspiration: squeezebox top from anthropologie

picture from an anthropologie review blog.

i think i literally gasped when i saw this top online.  i
instantly fell in love and knew i had to have it!

i bought 2 white shirts, one in xs which is my size and one in
large.  i got the large shirt in round neck for more
fabric while i got the xs in a scoopneck.

you'll need:

2 shirts

scissors

matching thread

pins

estimated time: 1-2 hrs.

project cost: very reasonable(mine was $8 for both shirts)

skill level: advanced beginner to intermediate

1. take the large shirt and cut it into two pieces, a front and the

back piece.

2. cut the arms and the neckline off so it's closest to a rectangle shape.

3. take one of the piece and begin making the pleates.

4. (instruction written above)
