I finally got back into my sewing groove today!! it rained and I had nothing to do while I waited for the dye in my hair to set so I decided to alter a shirt I've had sitting around for three months. I haven't sewn in two months!! It's so good to be back. Despite my serger breaking down on me the first try.

This is a threadless shirt I've been lusting after but never knew what to do with. I was afraid that the addons might take away from the shirt, but they don't. I took it in from an XXL and made it capsleeved, and added polka dot ringer sleeves and a bottom tie.

I messed up a little bit so I have some questions. Should I make the neckline ringer as well? I was rushing out to meet a friend and didn't have time to finish it. Also, should I make the bottom longer? I'm really not sure if this shirt is flattering to my body and i intended to hem to reach a little further down. I need feedback!
