I'm too sexy for my shirt...

Alright, so next she needed a shirt. Couldn't have the girls out all the time... might get arrested.

Anyway, I grabbed a shirt of mine that I was never going to wear and cut the bottom hem off. I decided to use this part of my shirt to fashion a shirt for Mimi.

I then looked up some t-shirt patterns online (sewing patterns) so I could start making a shirt for her.

I then cut out the pieces I'd need and started hand sewing it all together.

I sewed the front sleeves and the back together, then did my best to try and add a hem to the neckline. Or I tried.

Anyway, once it was all sewn together, I then turned the darn thing inside out.

I think it turned out pretty well!

I popped off her head to get the shirt on a bit easier and slid the shirt on.

. . .

It's too big.

The f@#$. Like, it's twice the size it needs to be.

It took me forever to sew this tiny thing too.

UGH.

Gotta start over.

I measured out some new pieces but made sure they weren't voluminous and started sewing again.

I, again, sewed the front, back, and sleeves together.

I poked myself in the thumb a couple of times too!

I'm injured.

Either way, I finally finished this little sucker up. I think it's small enough. What do you think?

So after I turned it right side out, I popped off her head and her hands and spent a good five minutes getting this shirt on her. I had to take her hands off because they would have gotten caught in her sleeves, and I was just up to here with it and I just needed her dressed.

The shirt fits pretty well, other than the fact that due to the thickness in her armpits she's gotta walk around like she just got done lifting ten thousand pounds. I also didn't hem up the neckline because I forgot and now I'm going to need to take it off of her so I can finish that up.

Either way, I think this one came out pretty well, and I'm glad that it didn't take several tries like the pants did. Hopefully, Mimi is cool with not having a closet full of clothes.

Final product!
