How To Upcycle A Plain White Shirt Into A Beautiful Lacy Tuxedo Shaped Top / Tunic

Plain white button down shirts (men's or women's) are typically plentiful at the thrift stores, but what can you do to jazz them up? Well, I have a super fun idea for you that just requires some simple sewing. We are going to make an unique one-of-a-kind tuxedo top. The tails are made from a thrifted oval tablecloth and the blouse / tunic is decorated and embellished with parts of the tablecloth and lots of vintage lace, creating beautiful layers and lovely details. Enjoy!

Hey Tracy, as always obsessed, this came out beautifully. I am making this next. I'm finishing up the patched and appliqued jeans you showed us how to make. This lacy tunic and my patched jeans will be gorgeous together. Oh yeah, I just bought a bunch of men's white oversized button down shirt's. Thank you for all that you do. Because of you I'm creating the wardrobe of my dreams!!!!!

You never cease to amaze! This is just too cute! Thanks so much for sharing your process, you are such a pleasant teacher. You are literally the only You tube creator that I listen to. Most of them I watch speed up and without sound. However I watch everything you do with sound and at normal speed and I usually watch them multiple times before I even start creating the item. I just love everything you do.

This would be a great way to get a white shirt that can't be seen through. However, I would not want a shirt so long in the back. I don't wear a white blouse very often; but, I do own several very nice white blouses. The only way I will ever get a white shirt/blouse that I really want to wear will be to make one the way I want it. Your white Tuxedo shaped Tunic looks beautiful on you. Enjoy.

You should ask viewers to send a photo of their upcycled item with or without a before shot. Every now and then you could put up a video with maybe 5 peoples 'artwork' as a way to thank them. It would be super cool to see the designs.

This is why I often do seams on the outside. I disclose in my listing that inside seams are finished with a ziz zag stitch and clipped close. I have found a lot of creative ways to avoid plain raw seams. Nobody ever complained.🤗❤❤❤
