Tutorial: Repurpose a Men’s Shirt into a Boy’s Shirt

Click here to see the explanation for each picture! Hope you like it. I promise it is pretty easy. I just did loads of pictures so it would be super clear.

DONE!
The dress shirt turned out awesome! Every time Eli has worn it people are shocked I made it from one of Hot Hubby’s old shirts.
I haven’t taken any pictures since I sewed on the front pocket. I’ll try to get some soon!
I hope you try this and have as much fun making the dress shirt as I did 🙂

    I have 4 little boys and I love to sew but there are very few tutorials for nice boy clothes out there. Then I found this tutorial on Pinterest. When I click here or any of the links you’ve posted in the comments it doesn’t work. Can you let me know where to get the step by step directions? Thanks!

    I would like to try this tutorial but when I click on where it says “here” for the details of each picture, it just takes me to the page to buy lids. Can you help please.
    Thanks

      Sorry this took so long to fix!! When we switched over hosting sites some of the links were broken and I haven’t had a chance to really sit down to troubleshoot.
      The link on the post works again, but here it is directly: http://www.elislids.com/blog_documents/tutorial_dress_shirt.doc
      Please let me know if you have any other issues! Hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!

    Seriously. This is AWESOME! Have I mentioned that I love your style? I wish that I could sew worth a flip, and that I had a little boy to make shirts for.

    Awesome tutorial, easy-to-follow, and the end result is perfecto!
