Great tutorial. I like the trend toward shorter shirts. I am plus size and I am very tired of baggy shirts and long tunics. Hooray for shorter more fitted shirts. You have inspired me 🙂

Cropped shirts are great for added height, summer heat esp if you don’t like tucking it in. Cropped shirts have become one of my favorite fits💕

😲🤯----You are amazing. I was recommended this video and saw that I have a shirt that I want to do this to so baaad. I've gone to a 2nd hand store to get a couple of cheap shirts to test first. Nope--can't do what you do. I can cook a mean dinner. Clean a mean house. Paint and play the piano but, what I love to have done the most--sewing--I just cannot. but good gosh I want to learn to sew so bad that---I am going to give it a go again. Pray for me!!!

@Below5Petite Год назад

That’s great, you know a lot more than me. I have always wanted to learn to sew as well but I was not confident or patient. I am learning to sew now and demonstrating it in detail, which helps me think hard about what I am doing before I make any cuts. It improved my patience and attention to details. The more you practice the better you will become. I am sure you know that already with all you other talents! Good luck and have fun!

Great! Thanks for supporting me. I like the material and color in all my transformations. They’re mostly shopping mistakes that’s been in my closet forever and never worn. If I mess up, I really would not miss them. This takes out a lot of stress and worry of making mistakes. I hope that will help you have more fun sewing🥰💪🏻

It looks like there were two layers in the back of the button placket. I would have used them, since the stripe go the correct way, and put a plain piece on the back of the buttons.

@Below5Petite Год назад

Good idea!

@nrivera4380 Год назад

Been wanting to do this for a very long time. I've seen where lace was placed in between the cut triangle to widen the top.

@Below5Petite Год назад

Yes, you can use any material you think matches your shirt. I think lace is a very cute option.

What a great way to save a smaller fitting shirt. But I personally, actually liked the longer length because the shirt looks too short now and it looks a little odd when it is short like that. But thank you for sharing this video.

You can customize your own length!💕

Love it! ❤ Guess I can't figure out what you did in the front, with the ruffle...to make it larger, it's so hard to read videos, especially since they have audio tracks, for Speaking & music... then little tiny words in light colored font...just too difficult to fallow along & try to guess what it is you're doing. Other than that, great video & good looking blouse, thanks

How would you've done that without cropping ?

@Below5Petite 2 месяца назад

You could use any fabric of choice, with right sides together, trace the shape like I have in the video. Cut it out. You’ll have two pieces, one for each side of the shirt. Then follow the video to sew it together. Have fun!

I don't understand overlocks...I just use a zig zag stitch on my regular machine. never had any issues

@Below5Petite Год назад

Yes that is perfectly fine.

What's the stick you use while stitching?

It’s a small screw driver for the sewing machine. You can use anything that help push the fabric forward.

@@Below5Petite thanks!

@francisgerry3883 Год назад

Silly then it's to short .

@Below5Petite Год назад

💕 You do have to consider if your shirt will become too short to use this method. The waist of my shirt is a bit too long and cinched at the hips which really bothered me since I bought it. I am under 5' so a tiny bit of length makes a huge difference on my proportions. Now my shirt is at a length and width I enjoy wearing.

@marianlinden9736 Год назад

Some bodies are short from neck to waist and a shirt that is shirt will fit those bodies better.

@@nadijaheckel3857 ,например вместо вставок в бок можно подкроить деталь переда, в которой соединяются нагрудная вытачка из проймы и для приталивания( мне трудно объяснить, но это как в платье ,,принцесс". Тогда обычно из такой же ткани, как эти новые детали, выполняются воротник, манжеты. Или другие детали. можно от плеч сделать длинные , до линии низа, вставки из котрастной ткани или кружева. Можно возле застёжки сделать вставки, даже с добавлением оборочки или волана. Вариантов множество, дерзайте .

@notbill08 Год назад

This is NOT really a solution. The shirt is now too short and the panel fabric stripes run the wrong way making them too obvious. I'm all for up-cycling etc but this just a fail 👎🏼

@Below5Petite Год назад

You have options to choose whatever solution you like with sewing. You are the designer who decides if it’s a fail or success. I made decision base on my preference you can do the same.

@notbill08 Год назад

@@Below5Petite You didn't "upsize" the shirt...because you shortened the length. It looks worse! The rounded hem gave it style! It brings in the waist. Seriously, are you going to wear that ridiculous shirt out in public now?

@@notbill08 i have seen shirts for sale with stripes deliberately run in different directions. I would wear this, but if you would not then ok. Is it necessary to be so mean spirited?
