Before and After – Old Flannel Shirt

Before

Before

After

After

Modifications

Modifications

Materials: Old flannel shirt, elastic

Process: I’ve always loved the colors on my dad’s old shirt, but it was not exactly my size or style. My dad always used to wear this in the 80s, but I still had to wrestle it away from him when I was ready to modify it. The sleeves were covered in paint, so I decided to cut them off to add a girly touch. I sewed the arms and sides and hemmed the bottom to make it slimmer. I then cinched the waist in with elastic.

I don’t think my dad will wear it now.

Before and After – Vintage Sweatshirt

After

Modifications

Modifications

sweatshirt stencil

sweatshirt stencil

Materials: Old Russell Athletic sweatshirt, hand-cut stencil, white fabric paint

Process: I had this old oversized sweatshirt around that I used to wear when I was younger. I didn’t know what to do with it for a while, until I had the idea to sew it down to make the shirt more fitted. I cut the collar into a U-neck for a fun touch, and trimmed away the “fat” from the hood. It’s still comfy and warm because the pocket is big, and the arms remain long. I spiced it up even more by cutting a stencil from a design inspired by some tiles in my bathroom. I used a light coat of paint for a faded look.
