What a great idea!!
I am always annoyed at logo T shirts because they ALWAYS give you a man's, and the neck is too high, and, like you said, they hang like a bag.
I have gotten some shirts from Curves, and I can't help thinking "hello, this is a WOMAN'S gym. Can't you provide T shirts that fit WOMEN??
I am hurrying to my sewing room immediately to begin the SURGERY :>)

Georgene said... Not quite instant gratification, but close. I bet you could find some of those 70's tees at garage sales or thrift shops and do the same thing. Thanks for the list of steps on how-to. 8/21/05 8:25 PM
Tiner W said... The T-shirt is great and this is a wonderful idea, but I really wish I'd known you were at Knoebels--I live very close! 8/21/05 8:29 PM
Sue_WA said... Love it. I have many t-shirts that have been given to me as a gift and I can't part with them. Adding curves to the T-shirt is such a great idea! I am definately going to try this. :) 8/21/05 10:12 PM
Leslie in Austin said... Fantastic! Now I'm desperate to earn myself one of those tees! I'm a glutton for good old fashioned *enormous* wooden rollercoasters. 8/21/05 10:28 PM
tigger said... Thanks - this is such a great idea - and your t-shirt looks so much better after your alterations!
I love it - thanks for the lesson. 8/22/05 0:14 AM
Tailypo said... Thank you so much for this tutorial -- I am going to get right to work! PS I grew up in Central PA and am glad to know Knoebel's is still around. 8/22/05 2:41 AM
Danvillegirl said... Great idea. Never would have thought of this, very helpful information. 8/22/05 5:46 AM
JDpenelope said... Nice job and great explanation! Now you have something you're very fond of that you can actually wear. 8/22/05 6:26 AM
Deepika said... Phyllis, thanks for the directions on converting the souvenier t-shirt into a fitted one. I've done this before but your method is very easy. 8/22/05 7:15 AM
Harriet Rogers said... This is a great idea! Thanks so much for the details. It would never occur to me to cut down a RTW that is too big., but you've given me something to thing about. Shirt looks great in the new size. 8/22/05 9:47 AM
Tini said... great shirt....
unfortunately I found a wayfor myself to get bigger t-shirts to fit me too... gain weight :) but I think I prefer your way much more LOL 8/22/05 2:16 PM
lazylol said... Great review - it has given me lots of ideas - I am always buying t-shirts that are too big and long. I have to make a start and use your method - woohoo I will be able to wear t-shirts that have been hanging in my wardrobe for ages!! Thanks 8/24/05 3:52 PM
Debbie Cook said... Ann (GT) just pointed me to this review of yours! I like your method too. It's so much nicer to wear a woman's tee than to try squeezing into a shapeless man's tee, isn't it? Very nice results, but you'll never get me to try that rollercoaster! 4/1/06 12:32 PM
PVA said... Thanks for this review Phyllis. I missed it the 1st time around but picked up on it from a link on Debbie Cook's review for remodeling a t-shirt. I'm getting very inspired! 4/1/06 7:05 PM
Doris Stewart said... It just makes sense to deconstruct a man's T-shirt and add some curves. Thanks for sharing how you did it - I'm off to give it a try to a T-shirt that I made years ago. 4/7/06 7:56 AM
