Empire cut Blouse, T-Shirt reconstruction with Tutorial
I’ve been fascinated with all the T shirt reconstruction I’ve seen around, so yesterday, I was bored and decided to make my own reconstruction.. I had a big t shirt (it was my mom’s) I trace it and start cutting… This is how it looks like, I can’t wear tight T-shirts, very often I get stomach inflammation because thanks to digestive problems, and sometimes I look like I’m 4 months pregnant, so this blouse is perfect for those days. Of course I need to perfection it but it wasn’t that bad for my first attempt, what do you think?
well I thought I made a tutorial of how I made it.. please bear with me since English is not my first language, and if something needs corrections or do you need more explanation please let me know, this will also be my first tutorial.

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. I will be trying it this week since school is over. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
This t-shirt recon looks great! Wonderful job! I will have to try this myself.
great tutorial — thanks!
This is fabulous! The diagram and instructions are very good, I love this style of blouse! I have Crohn’s Disease so I sympathize with needing loose-fitting clothing at times. I look forward to thrifting t-shirts to make this!
This is a very cute idea to repurpose a T-shirt!
I had a lot of fun with this one!
Thank you! This is exactly what I have been looking for.
Awesome! Ironically I am actually 4 months Prego… (although I look more like 6) and I have hard time finding shirts that I love, and feel comfortable in. I will definitely be trying this for prego, and post prego, I love the flowy-ness is the shirt, THANKS!!!
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing.
Great job! Cute shirt and the tutorial was done very well!
Adorable top! I certainly have to try this since it’s impossible for me to find empire tops that I like.
Thank you!
Just what I am looking for. Can’t wait to try it!
This is genius! Thanks for the great idea.
Love this idea! Can’t wait to try it!
I will be sending my mum to your blog. She loves to wear this style. Great tutorial!
Love this, now i just need a sewing machine!! Guys plain colored t shirts are Super cheap and have lots of good colors (i just bought a few for my hubby) and empire shirts are by far my favorite…..i wonder if you could make long sleeve ones for winter too….
You did a wonderful job with this and I am so excited to do it. I like the idea because I am on a tight budget and this is actually something I can afford to do. Thank you so much for doing this.
I love your reconstruction but your proofreading in the intro paragraph… it’s almost impossible to read.
Very nice!
I wouldn’t have know English wasn’t your first language! I love the idea, will be using it asap! It’s super cute! Good job and thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing! I’m currently plus size & also have stomach problems. This shirt looks cute & comfy! Most of the shirts online or in stores are ugly & costly. I can’t wait to make a few. Thanks again!!
Gracias para la tutoria! Like you, I have digestive problems where I will sometimes get a swollen stomach when I’m having a flare-up, and I like wearing empire tops when I have that problem. This gives me inspiration to make my own tops and save money. Gracias otra vez!
I love this look! I’ll have to try this myself.
