light denim shirt

Kammy's NDAD Creation

Light denim shirts are all the rage and Kammy's piece is totally on trend!!  I crafted my own denim dress last fall (click here for a refresher!) and still am on the hunt for more vintage denim!  This piece is amazing and I'm looking forward to finding my own shirt to transform.  Check it out...

I don't have a special story in particular, but ever since I came upon your blog, I've been following it religiously (as well as other refashion/upcycling blogs) and finally decided to give it a try!

I started with an old button up that belonged to my dad...

What will Kammy turn this into??

I resized it to fit me!

It fit pretty well except for around the armhole area, so I decided to try and add darts.

That failed miserably hence the bows I added to hide them, but overall I'm pretty happy with this attempt.

Thanks for the inspiration, Marisa!

I love what you did, Kammy!!  You totally followed the "try, try again" mantra until you got this piece to a place you were happy with and it looks fantastic.  Darts didn't work, so add some bows!  You win the "Make It Work" award for the week, hands down.  Thank you so much for sharing!! Can't wait to see what's coming next.
