I've been wanting to reconstruct a men's shirt for quite some time, and finally got around to it. I used one of John's XL men's short sleeved shirt and turned it into a medium size babydoll blouse, complete with fabric flower. Please check back for more recons (with tutorial)!
A big thanks to clevergirl.org for the mention. Since I started this blog, I have been thinking about how I can make it focused, interesting, and useful. I have many interests, so this has been a challenge. I have been drawn to the DIY movement (love to sew - hate to discard perfectly good clothing), but there are so many great sites out there already. Hmmm...will have to do more thinking on this.

it's so great to see a big old boxy shirt turn into something with feminine flair. great job!
Yes, I especially like what you have done with the sleeves!
This is so cute! I think you've got a winner! It would be fun to embellish the sleeves and shirt/dress bottom with lace, ribbon or bric a brac to make it even more girlie. The possibilities are endless-a large men's cowboy shirt for instance. I love it!
