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.

I’m getting a school bag rather than the purse. I love this purse.

The school bag is the same as what I’m describing as a purse. I thought it looked more like a “purse” than a school bag, so that’s how I described it when I linked to it. Sorry for the confusion! –Anne

I would love to have the pattern for this purse. My late husband was a great tie man, I have a large drawer full of ties. I know my daughter and daughter-in-law would love to have a purse made out of his ties.
Thanks
