Another Shirt Refashion

I took a plain red knit top and 1 yard of print fabric and came up with this:

First I cut the  off the shirt just below the bust and added a skirt-like panel.  This panel flares out at the bottom and is a little longer on the sides.  I also added fabric lengthen the sleeves.  And lastly added a small cowl neck.

Knit Shirt Refashion

I've become very interested in the idea of clothing refashioning (recycling? repurposing?); especially t-shirts and knit tops that don't work anymore.

 
I started with this shirt.  It's a basic cotton knit top. I like the fabric and the way it fit through the neck, shoulders and chest, but it's too short. I decided to lengthen it and change the shape somewhat.

  
I  wanted it to have more of of this shape, so I inserted triangle shaped pieces into the side seams.

  


If I want to wear it during cold weather, I'll probably wear it like this with a black long sleeve tee underneath

Here you can see the piece I inserted in the side seam
