Refashioned Long Sleeved Blue Maternity Shirt

BEFORE...

Here is my lovely blue striped maternity shirt. 

The drawback?...I was pregnant in the summer with lots of long sleeved shirts to wear! 

Can you say  HOT!!!
AFTER!


So here is the process I went through to refashion this long sleeved shirt into a cool summer time maternity shirt.

I began refashioning this shirt by laying another maternity shirt on top as a template. 

After cutting off the sleeves and trimming the sides a bit the shirt had a nicely fitted maternity look.

After sewing the sides together, I ironed the sleeves under and sewed a straight hem for a finished look. 

FINISHED Product! Awe....cool for the Summer!
