DIY: how to resize a tee

I got a couple of new shirts for work the other day (we have to wear shirts with our logo) and even after I washed them, they fit me like a maternity shirt.  Pretty awkward I must say.  So I figured I'd make them fit me better AND show you how to to do it, too!

Turn your shirt inside out and lay a shirt that fits you how you like on top of the shirt to be altered.
Then mark the outline of the fitted shirt onto your new shirt.
*the sleeves of my shirt fit just fine, so I only altered the sides and left the sleeves alone.

Sew along the marks that you made onto your shirt.

Cut along the edge of the stitch.

I added a zig zag stitch for sturdiness.  If you have a serger, serge away!!

done in less than 15 mins.
Now you know where I work.
Please don't stalk me.

my style: honeymoon dress repurpose!

I was so excited to buy some beachy clothes for our honeymoon so I bought this dress off of Modcloth...

aw.

Since I haven't worn the dress since the honeymoon (6 months ago), I figured it was time to make a little use out of it.  So I cut the top off of it and made it into a skirt!

I like this length much better.
