This project may have taken quite a bit of time, but I loved the turn out. Honestly, if I did it all over again, it would have been much much quicker. I originally refashioned and wore this shirt this day, and every time I stick it on I realize that I love it more and more. It is SO easy to find a white button up like this at your local thrift store for cheap. So go buy and refashion!
My bump is getting bigger and bigger, starting to now fit into ANYTHING. But, luckily, I can sew and sew I will! I've already got some pregnancy/nonpregnancy doubling refashions and tutorials waiting on the sidelines. Can't wait to show them. Speaking of pregnancy clothes, I forced myself to buy some cheap tops at forever 21 to that I don't mind stretching out and such, and might have picked up some very nonpregnant shoes. I'm obsessed with them!
skirt: thrifted/refashioned top: thrifted/refashioned shoes: f21
SUPPLIES:
Iron and ironing board
1-1/4-Inch Circle Punch
or dye cut machine or scissors
Scissors
Sponge brush
*optional - printer/computer
*optional - blow dryer
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut freezer paper into a printable size, make and print circles onto the paper, then cut out.
or
1. Mark where each circle would be with ruler and cut (only fit 2) rows of circles with a circle cutter
or
1. Use a dye cut machine.
2. Iron on one section at a time
3. Paint all the circles in each section
*optional - blow dry with hair dryer
4. Once dry peel off the freezer paper and polka dots will be the results!
5. repeat until the shirt is covered with as many polka dots as desired.
Amazing idea! I don't have a circle punch, but I suppose those aren't that hard to acquire...
ReplyDeleteTons of possibilities for where to put polka dots!
this is an awesome idea! i do a lot of stencils with freezer paper - it's an amazing cheap little tool. and i love how this completely transformed your blouse.

This is so fun. Great idea!! Love the skirt, too.
ReplyDeleteI like how the polka dots are only on the back section.
ReplyDeleteI've never used freezer paper! I can think of only a bajillion way to use it!
I love your skirt and I'm jealous you still have cute skirts that fit your bump. I'm 23 weeks and no skirts left to show for it.
ReplyDeleteI've used freezer paper to do a stencil on a pillow, but never thought to use it to refashion a shirt! So cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! You look fantastic, by the way. Whenever I go for baby #2, I hope I can be as cute as you.
ReplyDeletePatchwork, patch apliquê, também gosto de fazer, ficou muito legal a camisa ,parabéns por tanta criatividade...Edileny Gomes.
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots and the shoes, though I'd never be able to walk in those. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and I could not walk in those shoes while NOT pregnant, so huge kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea. Gorgeous outfit!
ReplyDeleteI love that you put the detail on the back! It turned out great! Can you tell me where you bought your freezer paper? Whenever I go to the grocery store, look for it and they never have it. Is it difficult to find?
