I found a fun tutorial for making Aiden shirts from old unworn (or worn) xl t-shirts. We have a lot of those around here. I love to sew so I thought. PERFECT. However it didn’t take me 90 minutes, double that. I didn’t know how to adjust my mom’s serger so TOO much times was spent messing with it. Holding the shirt up I thought it looked awesome. Then I put it on Aiden. HA
The neck was WAY too big, like a boat neck or something. Bad! I could have fixed it, but I’d serged the arm on prior to trying it on him so it was done. Oh well. It was good practice. I took it off Aiden and threw it away, oh well.
I’ll do it again when I have some free time. If you attempt this shirt make sure you use a onesie that your child has actually worn. I just pulled a crappy one I’d never put on him out of the donation bin. If it is crappy don’t make a pattern from it! DUH. So I have another one ready to be cut up, I hate to do it, but he’s grown out of it so it can live on as other shirts now.
