FROM "XXL" SHIRT TO SIZE "S": Homemade

[andreasalas]

Here in the midst of quarantine, every day we find something to occupy our time.
An XXL size shirt made of very soft fabrics came into my hands and I think it was very cute, so I wanted to redo it, but smaller of course.

STEP 1: First I started by cutting the XXL shirt in two cloths and getting a model shirt, my pattern.

STEP 2: I folded my first cloth in half and also folded the model shirt in half. Once this was done I cut through the contours.

STEP 3: Once the front part is cut as shown in the image, the rear part is cut, with the model shirt folded in half in the opposite direction.

STEP 4: Once the two cloths have been cut, we can see the difference in the neck of the two, the back is clearly different from the front.

STEP 5: We proceed to thread, always joining, the right side on one side with the upright side on the other side so that it is not uneven.

CAN YOU APPRECIATE THE PROGRESS IN THE PROCESS? When you make a remodeling of this way, without a measuring tape and without patterns, there is usually something a little uneven and there you have to use your imagination. Usually you just have to cut a surplus and that's it.

STEP 6: We calculate what sizes we want the sleeves, in this case I want them to be a little longer. And we cut.

STEP 7: Due to the availability of the fabric, we were able to cut two cloths for each sleeve, which we thread together. According to the order detailed in the image.

CAN YOU SEE IT ALL READY? Now all that remains is to cook by machine or by hand and finish the edges.
