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.

What a lovely project idea! I work with fabric every day although I am not a quilter. I have a huge and varied scrap stash that my quilting friends raid for their yo-yos. My latest leftovers come from some 10 varied yards of fabric from Tula Pink’s Flutterby collection. It will be the perfect fabric to use for your Butterfly Mobile. Thank you so much.
