super quick green shirt redo

Ok so I woke  up this morning, remembering that my daughter was supposed to wear green today at preschool for St. Patrick's Day.
yikes...she has no green clothes...
So I had this old shirt in my stash that would work.

So i grabbed a random shirt of hers to kind of measure where to cut...
(and this was this morning at 7 AM so pardon the pictures)

So I cut it to how I want it...

I first sewed the sides...BUT I recommend doing the sleeves first because it's so small to work with once everything is sewn!

 Did a cute little cap sleeve for her.

  
 THen I just hemmed it to the length that I wanted and flipped it around.

And there's her green shirt for today.
Boy she was really excited and I was so happy she liked it!...(she's 5 and very particular!)


If you are in a tight spot today or tomorrow or EVER for a shirt, 
you can whip this up in less than a half an hour!

    You are freak'n awesome!! I love this!! Such a fun idea!

    I have so many shirts that are too big for ME right now, wonder if I could cut them down to size so I can keep wearing them and save some $$$ ????

    Katie sent me!

    Now THAT'S impressive. If I realized I didn't have anything green for my kids to wear on St. Patricks day, they'd be wearing red.

    In fact...not sure what the green situation is for tomorrow... oops.

    That is so cute! I hate when you get a whole at the very bottom of a shirt. But it is still really cute! Great idea.

    Thanks for sharing over at Tuesday Tell All.
