For this back to school refashion, I got two shirts out of one skirt.
The Before:
The top of the skirt is shirred so I was able to use it for the bodice of this shirt.
This was my first time making sleeves like this. It was so easy, I'll probably be doing it a lot now.
For Kate's top I had to improvise since I was out of material. I shirred my own bodice and used a woven trim for the sleeves.
They'll be great while the temperatures are still hot, but should still work with a cardigan in the winter.

You are soo creative! Those shirts are darling!
My FAVORITE!!
Wow I am so impressed. I like doing this sort of thing too but I am no where near as knowledgeable as you! Did you have a pattern for those sleeves? Would you mind sharing the basic shape required for the ruffle sleeve cap portion?
Love it!!! What a great upcycle project!
Oooooh, to possess the talent that you do! FABulous job!!!
These shirts are adorable. I am really enjoying the school refashions!
Is the first sleeve something you can explain? I was hoping to add that to an apron, but I don't have a pattern for it. thanks if you can!
These little shirts are so darling! I'll bet your girls love dressing like little twinners as well!
Very lovely! lucky girls. They are beautiful.
