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
