Girls' Shirt Refashion

Hi there, oh I'm so very excited to post this project, the top on the left was a gift from my Aunt(hi appi how did you like this?) to my three girls, and well the girls are on the skinny side and the shoulders of the top just kept dropping off of their shoulders and I was wondering what to do with that, probably add some pleats but then I came across some white fabric, scraps basically left over from my the trouser I made, and voila! I was hit with a brilliant idea!

I am no expert but took loads of pics to show how I did it, it was fun and easy
First I ironed out the shirt left side out, than cut away the top, and bit of sides because they needed to be tighten from the chest too

The white fabric was just enough to be the top and about 1/2 an inch over to go into stitching

Here you can see I took out the neck and arm bindings so that I can reuse them

I carefully cut away the neck, it was a bit tedious, since I had the whole piece and it wasn't cut from the shoulders,

 Since I was shortening the neck line, made this opening at the back using this tut from Jess over at craftinessisnotoptional, she is my mentor, I usually follow her tuts

Sewing on the binding of neck and sleeves, that I had earlier taken out of the original top

The back looks like this

Here I have attached the white top piece and the body piece, using a straight stitch

And then top stitched it from the front after ironing it

 And the sides are stitched down like so

And tada! did this to all the three tops

And here is a overload of the kids pics I took in my excitement!

Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did while sewing it!
