WOO HOO! Call me a big nerd but my heart's pounding because i'm so excited and honored to be here!!!

 

 

my name is Sarah and i keep a blog over at Welcome to the gOOd life. it's a diary written by me (and sometimes by my hilarious husband) of the good and the ugly as a wife, a stay at home mom, raising two kids under three-just a year apart, and also my weekly DIY sewing projects.

 

so should we get on to my DIY project? inspiration: squeezebox top from anthropologie

 

picture from an anthropologie review blog.

 

i think i literally gasped when i saw this top online.  i instantly fell in love and knew i had to have it!

 

 

i bought 2 white shirts, one in xs which is my size and one in large.  i got the large shirt in round neck for more fabric while i got the xs in a scoopneck.

 

 

you'll need:

2 shirts

scissors

matching thread

pins

estimated time: 1-2 hrs.

project cost: very reasonable(mine was $8 for both shirts)

skill level: advanced beginner to intermediate

 

 

1. take the large shirt and cut it into two pieces, a front and the back piece.

 

 

2. cut the arms and the neckline off so it's closest to a rectangle shape.

 

 

3. take one of the piece and begin making the pleates.

 

 

4. (instruction written above)

and then with the bottom pleated part
