Daddy's Dress into a Shirt

Here is what I created out of one of Tyson's dress shirts.

Mom & Dad bought me my first sewing machine for Christmas
& my mother-in-law bought me a case for it and gave me a quick sewing lesson to
help me figure out all the in's and outs of the machine.

I was super excited to try it. I haven't bought any fabric yet, but I had
this tutorial stored away and wanted to give it a try.

I am just a beginner, I made lots of mistakes along the way....
but I think it turned out alright.





The seam ripper and I had a some issues as I removed the front pocket. Ooops.

I have lots more projects up my sleeve that I can't wait to create.
This is only the beginning for me and my new hobby...after I purchase some fabric of course.
