Description
I deconstructed a 1970’s western shirt and used some fabric from the thrift store I found. I don’t even know where to begin. It was my first time with alot of this, so it took me a long while and lots of ripping. I added pleated round ruffled sleeves, pintucks to top front panel of the shirt, red piping in front and back and along the front placket (which was very hard to do with the snaps there), I relocated the pockets to the side, fitted it with 2 darts in front and 3 darts in back. I made a pattern of each piece I used so I can reuse it again someday. Let me know what you think? any thing I could have done better?
Material Notes
My Mom's old western shirt, thrifted green plaid fabric, red piping, red thread, lime green seam binding, and 1 snap

oh i love it! soooo cool and unique and love the pattern mix. i guess if i would add/change anything i think i might add the piping around all the edges, but i don’t think that’s necessary. great work!

Looks very cool! You somehow remind me of Heath Ledgers’s daughter form Brokeback mountain, which I saw yesterday. Really cute!
