One of my goals for this year is to make use of what I have and restyle old clothing! I thought this XL henley would be a good first project. It took a while (seriously like 4 hours) because I didn't know what I was doing, but I'm glad I kept at it because it's now a functional piece of clothing for me. Super comfy. Hopefully I will get faster and better at this if I keep trying!
What a great idea! It looks so cute!

It looks great! The 4 hours working on it were definitely worth it.

It looks cute. Maybe I should take a look at some of the clothes gathering dust in my closet.

Cute! I have a pile of clothes to do that to, but the 4 hour thing is stopping me!

You’ve done great with restyling it. It is better and practical to alter or restyle clothes rather than throwing them away. Or better to give it to charity. When I was younger I remember my Mom altering my sister’s clothes for it to fit me. But now that we are grownups we just laugh out old memories and enjoy shopping together with our Mom. It’s fun to shop with them, it’s like coping for the lost times. Anyway, thanks for sharing. You just gave me an idea on what to do with my now oversized cocktail dress.
