Hey Loves!
DID SOMEBODY DAY FOOTBALL?! Yes! Yes, they did! I was waiting for football season all year.
First, I love football. Second, this shirt right here.

I knew I was going to a football game Saturday. I didn't know which game, but I knew I was gonna make something similar to that shirt, but when was I gonna make it? Ummmm, the day of the game of course. One hour before the game start time, I started. It took me about 1.5 hours to make.
Here's what I chose to do differently. I chose a shorter length, a tie at the neckline instead of a button, and a sash belt instead of elastic in the waist. Instead of white, I used this cute floral print that fit into my fall wardrobe vision.
To make it:
- Find a simple shirt with a nice fit
- Fold the shirt in half
- Fold fabric in half
- Trace the front of a simple shirt on the fold (Make sure you add 5/8" for inseam.)
- Trace the neckline, shoulders, sleeves, center, and sides of the back (Make sure you add 5/8" for inseam.)
- Add 10 inches to the bottom of the center.
- Use a straight edge to connect the back side to the center.
- Sew the shoulders and sides
- Create your ties (2 10-12" & 1 2 times your waist)
- Finish your edges as you desire. I used single bias tape for the neck and sleeves. I finished the hem by double folding.
Until next time, SMOOCHES!
