More boy's PJs from a man's polo shirt - this time with a guitar!


My 8 year-old needed new summer PJs too, so I grabbed another of hubby's old polo shirts from work and got cracking with the method I used recently to refashion a polo into pyjamas.

This time the polo was black with a circular grey design on the bottom right. I incorporated this design into a guitar applique by adding blue lycra and white cotton and stitching guitar strings and knobs over them with free motion sewing. The top was lengthened with the stripe of blue fabric at the chest and I free-sewed 'I'm with the band' across the front and 'Rock n Roll' on the back. 

My little rocker was stoked!!







I would love to see your creations. You can upload them to my Flickr group, or my Facebook page.

Hi Megan

I was just wondering if you've seen my clothes upcycling page with the linky there?
I would love if you came and linked this project there too (and any other upcycles you've done too). It has a long term linky, so your project would stay there for more than just the week of a usual linky. We have over 160 projects linked up now – some fantastic ideas.
Do come and take a look!

Hi Megan, what a clever idea. Congratulations. I bet your boy was thrilled to bits with the p.j's. Thanks for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

When looking for the best yachting shirts in 2017, comfort should be one of the most important considerations. After all, you would surely not want to be in a situation wherein you would want to immediately get rid of your shirt because of the comfort that it provides. One thing that makes this shirt very comfortable is the fact that it is made from 100% cotton pique. It also has the right fit, provided that you choose the size that is right for your body. The Best Polo Shirt is well-stitched, which can provide you with the assurance that it can be used longer.
