Sorry about the link. Looks like I need to fix it. The tutorial i linked to is gives instructions on how to turn a boxy t into a fitted t. I did basically the same thong for the polo (but added the gathered sleeve). Here is the good link: http://thismamamakesstuff.com/2008/08/tutorial-fitted-t/

good luck!

Hi,
Am trying to find the tutorial for the Men’s Polo to Women’s Fitted. The link goes to a redirect and then to the opps! the link appears broken screen. I’m working on a sewing/quilting program for the Girl Scouts in SE Texas and am sure this and the T-shirt redo will be a big hit.
Thanks

You did a wonderful recreation! I would recommend shortening the length on the polo next time. No reason to cover your tiny little toosh, its not helping your overall stature.

kelsimad–
There is a link to the basic tutorial (I just used the same method I use on my big T-shirts). The sleeve is a little trickier. I don’t have a lot of time for writing tutorials now, so if I were you, I would look for a pattern for a knit shirt with gathered sleeve and use the patten to cut the polo shirt sleeve.

that is adorable!! Are you going to do a tutorial? If not, how did you alter the sleeve to make it gathered?
