My first re-construction!

My lovely "Firefly" t-shirt was too big and boxy and uglified-fitting for me to wear! So, I attempted my first reconstruction of a t-shirt.

Not so happy...

Not so flattering. This one's for posterity...

Now that, I think, is cute. Maybe a little more off the sleeves?

An update on the monarchs. Perfection!


edited to add: I ended up taking more off the sleeves and off the actual hem of the shirt. It kind of fits like a dancer tee...kind of slides off the shoulder. My friends who have the same kind of shirt keep asking me where I got my "special" shirt.

Thanks for your support and comments. And thanks for the update on the butterflies. It appears to be a monarc, correct? Will he/she be able to complete her/his cycle? My compliments on the experment.
