re-purposing: Long sleeve shirt to soccer shirt

I know I am on a sewing, re-purposing kick lately!
But I am slowly trying to make my way through my stash!

This was a super easy way of taking a long sleeve shirt and making it into a short sleeve,
then I just added the soccer ball with my silhouette using heat transfer.



I think I paid $1.00 for these shirts at Walmart in the early spring!
I love to stock up when they are on clearance!

I cute the sleeves off where I wanted them to be.
Then I cut a strip off the top of both of the sleeves (the sleeves I just cut off)


fold in length wise and pin all the way around


Then I slid the circle part I just made on top of the sleeve with raw edges together!
Does that make sense???
a closer look!!
then sew all the way around the sleeve, and you can iron it down to give it a more crisp look!
Now you have short sleeves!!! Awesome!


Then I added the soccer ball using my silhouette and heat transfer.

The best part about it is she loves it!!!
