Before:
1) Flip the shirt inside out to get rid of the huge logo.
2) Find a tank top or shirt that fits well and use it as a guide to make the shirt the correct size (be sure to add a seam allowance!)
3) Cut the sleeves smaller (if desired)
4) Sew the sides of the shirt so the inside of the shirt now has the logo on it.
5) Sew the sleeves back on the shirt.
9) Sew pintucks on the right sides of the fabric (I chose to make a sunburst type of pattern, but anything works)
5) Sew the sleeves back on the shirt.
7) Sew the pleat in place.
8) Turn the sleeve edge under and sew in place.
9) Sew pintucks on the right sides of the fabric (I chose to make a sunburst type of pattern, but anything works)
