T-shirt mod: from square to curvy

I found a cool t-shirt mod on the Internet a while ago that I had been putting off until I got my new machine. Well Betty is finally here and she is prepared to do anything I can throw at her. So tonight I finally attempted this really neat idea to turn a regular t-shirt into a feminine/chic shirt that is flattering to a woman's curves.

Feminine t-shirt
This t-shirt was big and loose, it even looked kind of funny to me. Now it looks curvy and cute! I really like how it turned out. I found while sewing that you have to stretch the sleeves a little bit while sewing it since your refurbed sleeves are going to come out smaller than the armholes. It's really not a huge problem though. This pattern is actually for a surger, so if you have one of those this could be a quick pattern to put it to some use... But if not, then you could always set your machine to zig-zag.. Which is what I did.. Unfortunately no sooner had I finished my shirt and the site was gone.. Just like that. I don't know what happened, but it can still be found on YouTube here.
