1 Shirt = 2

You know I actually have a couple of brand-new-still-in-baggie teenage boy's shirt from my 'late' online store that can't fit anybody I know around......have been thinking what to do with em on and off for some time now......so this morning........I did something wonderful to the green shirt (not in photo coz I already TURNED it before remembering to snap a pix)......
And here it is.....the once untouched new shirt has become my weekend cotton top! I am actually wearing it now with a white weekend shorts....the combination looks casual, yet not sloppy and actually kinda cute! (I did reconfirm my 'perasan-ness' with hubby....he said it looks nice!) :D
Ohhh...and here is my 1st handmade bow ribbon......don't you love bows???? I do....since forever!
On top of that, well, if you know me....I do not like wasting fabrics, especially one so high quality like this cotton, so I turned the upper quarter of the shirt into Maia's dress! I used cotton Indonesian printed batik for the skirt part.
And to cover the original logo of the shirt (you can leave it as it is if you want btw), I used the fabric remnants to make raw-edged roses......

I 'whatsapp-ed' Sis#2 these photos, and she 'app-ed' back: "So are you gonna make me the yellow one? I can go collect it later if it's done!" :D

UPDATES!!!
So, a couple of hours later....
Oh! Can you see the 'tag' on this yellow top?
Haha.....this one's as per Sis#2's order....
And when you have this top, you know you'll have the matching dress....
Like this one here....
This one's for Kyra.....wider, longer......compared to the green one.
And if you haven't noticed, I did something to the 'manly' collar.....
Yeap yeap!!! :D
