I love the look of this shawl collar t-shirt; comfortable but stunning and vintage styled at the same time ~ what could be better? Pop over to So, Zo… What do you know? for instructions on how to make this lovely refashion for yourself.
Refashion Friday Inspiration: Shawl Collar T-shirt
…There's one of two ways you could create a garment like this from an existing T-shirt. You could either take a T-shirt that already fits you (or the indented recipient) well then recut the neckline, make the new collar and then attach the collar to the T-shirt. Or you could do what I did here: take a large loose fit T-shirt originally intended for a guy, and cut it up and remake it using a T-shirt sewing pattern to fit you before getting involved in the collar section.
I took the collar pattern from New Look 6808 (pictured above) to make the collar. I also used that sewing pattern's front and back pieces as a guide to recut the new T-shirt neckline…
xox,
