Men's T-Shirt Refashion

オットが、サイズの大きいTシャツの脇を詰めてくれというので詰めたんだけど、スリムフィットなTシャツになったら前身ごろのプリントの位置がバランス悪くなってしまったので、私のタンクトップに作り直しました。
脇の縫い目はそのままで、腕と首の部分だけ、たまねぎ工房という型紙屋さんの無料タンクトップ型紙を参考にしました。
腕と首のとこにはパンツにつけるようなゴムをつけてみました。

Man of the House asked me to take in the side seams of a T-shirt. It is size Large and he is size Small kind of guy. So I used his existing T-shirt as a guide and narrowed the T-shirt.

I had MOTH try it on before I shortened the length and found that the circle print now sat too low in the front proportionately.

So I decided to convert it to a tank top for me. I kept the re-sewn side seams as is, and used a free tank top pattern from Tamanegi-Kobo as my guide for armscye, neck opening (though I lowered the center front quite a bit) and the length.

 Yup, the proportion now looks much better.

I finished the armscye and neck with dark brown picot elastic. My pulling of the elastic was apparently not even so some parts get gathered a bit but I'm overall happy with my new tank. I wore it to walk to dogs tonight.
