Are you ready to turn a thrifted men’s button-up shirt into a trendy and chic gathered top? In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the simple steps of transforming an oversized shirt into a fashion-forward garment with drawstring features. It’s a fun and straightforward process that’s perfect for sewists of all skill levels, adding another stylish me-made piece to your wardrobe while also giving new life to pre-loved clothing. Full tutorial including a video can be seen here.
Start by choosing an oversized men’s button-up shirt from your local thrift store or your own wardrobe. Look for a shirt with interesting fabric and patterns that you’d like to showcase in your transformed top.
