Back-to-Back Disney

There's been a shirt-refashion circulating around Pinterest based on a knock-off of a certain store famous for its Christmas displays in the Big Apple.  Turns out there's one in Omaha, too, but the air there is rather rarified for me, I'm afraid.

Anyway, the style was very intriguing, where they replaced the back of a long-sleeved tee with a contrasting fabric.  Hmmmm.  I have a LOT of Disney fabric left over from the hoodie refashion.  How great would it be to save an old Ralph Lauren top that's starting to lose its shape?  And just in time for Disney!

 

 

It really was as simple as snipping off the back and replacing it.  Hem and done.

 

I really liked the simple pleat in the back.  And combining a non-knit fabric with the knit top gave the shirt back some structure.  It was getting pretty saggy before the redo.

 

 

Here are the side views.  I made the replacement panel longer in the back and gave it a curved finish.  The sweater on the right is how the shirt would look if I say the Pledge of Allegiance.  Or if I see Mickey Mouse - Be still my heart!!!
