Does that make sense? You know - make the cuff so it folds up and perhaps buttons on either side. I can picture it, but I'm not explaining myself well. The two doll pieces are GREAT! You are a pro at altered dolls!

Cut collar and sleeves off; sew seam straight across top of shirt (side to side);also sew up sleeve holes.Fill w/polyfill and sew straight across bottom closed.With yarn needle and fat yarns, stitch a mouth and eyebrows; use large buttons for eyes; pinch up "ears" shapes at each top corner and wind yarn at base; they will sit up. Clear as mud? Will find photo to send.....also:will the shirts take dyes?<BR/>PhylPhylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692890961528179278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31999815.post-5534004704330664052007-09-30T17:20:00.000-04:002007-09-30T17:20:00.000-04:00I have altered men's shirts by cutting up the fron...I have altered men's shirts by cutting up the front and removing the collar. I found an easy solution to those dumb looking sleeves. I shortened them (way too long for a woman) and then just did a zigzag stitch around the edge while stretching the fabric. The end result is a nice ruffled look. Try it:)<BR/>(hey)JudeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
