I like baseball tees. I always have. They remind me of laid-back casual summer days.
But they are not so girly and sweet. And I also like to look girly and sweet.

Here's the how-to:
1. I measured 3 inches away from the seem at each shoulder and marked those spots with a pin. I did this to the front and the back sides of the shirt.
2. Then I drew a temporary line from each of those points to the bottom seem where the sleeve seam is. I also did this to the front and back sides of the shirt.
3. I then cut along those lines,
used a seem ripper along the neck of the shirt,
and ended up with these pieces
4. I used the sleeve pieces as a pattern to cut out sleeve pieces from the other shirt making sure to allow for seems. I used the bottom of the shirt where there was an existing finished edge so I wouldn't have to finish the edge of my new sleeve. The sleeve pieces that you are going from won't lay exactly flat but just get it as flat as you can.
I ended up with pieces like this.
5. Fold the sleeves in half horizontally, matching the front side facing front side. Sew a seem where I've indicated with the red mark.

6. With the tank-like piece turned inside-out, match up the sleeves (also inside-out) to the tank piece and pin in place. Sew all along where you have pinned.
When you turn it back with the outside facing out, it will look like this. The spot that I have the arrow pointing to was a little tricky to sew. But it's okay for it to look a little funny here, because you will be sewing a ruffle over it.

7. I then cut out strips to be my ruffles. I just followed the stripes on my material, but if your material is not striped, then make sure to cut your strips straight. Each strip was about 2 1/2 inches tall and 13 inches long.
Make your ruffles by sewing a big straight stitch on the edge of your pieces and then pulling one string at the end to bunch.
Measure down 1 1/2 inch from your last ruffle and sew the next one on straight across. Repeat until you have as many ruffles on your sleeve as you would like.
Embellish as you'd like!

Thank you for being so creative, and generous too. This just might give printed t-shirts a run for their money.

L’extérieur de ce fourre-tout Michael Kors est un cuir métallisé de laiton froncé et froncé. Si vous connaissez les sacs à main Michael Kors, vous savez que ce cuir sera doux et souple. Les deux grandes poignées supérieures sont attachées au sac avec quelques centimètres de chaînes dorées, puis les moitiés supérieures des bretelles présentent le même cuir couleur laiton.

La diversité des couleurs et la taille utilisable de ce sac le rendent parfait pour un usage quotidien. Les poches intérieures ne manquent pas pour aider à garder les choses en ordre. Il y a des endroits parfaits pour votre téléphone ou votre Blackberry. Le zip top empêche les malfaiteurs de saisir votre sac dans un bar et aide également à contenir tout ce qui se trouve à l'intérieur lorsque vous courez pour créer ce train.

Michael Kors Outlet Online was a huge success there and became very well known. The designer Kors then branched out into accessories including Michael Kors Handbags Clearance. He never lost focus on his American chic styling. Some of his most notable collections include the Michael Kors Totes, Michael Kors satchel and the Designer MK Outlet and Michael Kors Outlet Online Store.
