I'm making a birthday present for my good friend Patti. We found this mandarin collar men's shirt that is a good fit at Goodwill.
In our area shirts are between $6.50 and S10.00.
We found a couple complementary shirts too.
We decided we wanted to make the back longer than the front so I made a vertical cut up the center back to just in front of the side seam.
I then let the cut piece fall forward and hang.
I cut it working up parallel to the side seam
I took the bottom section of one of the other shirts and seamed it to the cut I just made.
I started to drape it towards the back just overlapping the seam on the top half of the shirt.
I took some pleats as I went to allow for movement in the back.
It is still in process.
More to come later!
