Ok so I woke up this morning, remembering that my daughter was supposed to wear green today at preschool for St. Patrick's Day.
yikes...she has no green clothes...
So I had this old shirt in my stash that would work.
So i grabbed a random shirt of hers to kind of measure where to cut...
(and this was this morning at 7 AM so pardon the pictures)
So I cut it to how I want it...
I first sewed the sides...BUT I recommend doing the sleeves first because it's so small to work with once everything is sewn!
Did a cute little cap sleeve for her.
THen I just hemmed it to the length that I wanted and flipped it around.
And there's her green shirt for today.
Boy she was really excited and I was so happy she liked it!...(she's 5 and very particular!)
If you are in a tight spot today or tomorrow or EVER for a shirt,

You are freak'n awesome!! I love this!! Such a fun idea!
I have so many shirts that are too big for ME right now, wonder if I could cut them down to size so I can keep wearing them and save some $$$ ????
Katie sent me!
Now THAT'S impressive. If I realized I didn't have anything green for my kids to wear on St. Patricks day, they'd be wearing red.
In fact...not sure what the green situation is for tomorrow... oops.

What a cutie! Love her dimples :)
Lovely and so easy! What a great way to up-cycle old t-shirts!
You're quick! I would have run out to the 24 hour Wal-Mart. lol.
The shirt turned out great. :)
All I can say is wow! I can't believe you whipped that up before school. Very impressive and your little model is so adorable! Thanks for linking up to Inspiration Friday At The Picket Fence!

fantastic! I really need to learn how to sew...I have a sewing machine but use it for scrapbooking LOL !!!!
That is so cute! I hate when you get a whole at the very bottom of a shirt. But it is still really cute! Great idea.
Thanks for sharing over at Tuesday Tell All.
