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.

Getting the fabric to curl just right is crucial to getting the flower to look natural, as always she has done an excellent job.

Lol…what’s funny is I was rushed, and wanted to see what the flower would look like. So I used a hairdryer, letting the fabric do what it wanted 😉
