CREATE.


























you will need:
                      * a large shirt
                      * needle and thread/sewing machine
                      * 30 mins[ish]

step one
get a shirt - must be a large one [i used an old one of my dad's]. to
see if it is the right size, make sure that it reaches the middle of your
thigh, although lower is fine.

step two
try the shirt on in front of a mirror to make sure that the front and
back of the shirt join together comfortably in the middle of your
legs. [if it is too tight, the seam will rip.]

step three
sew together the opening seam in the middle of the shirt - take off
the buttons and save them for later. **make sure that you leave
enough space at the top of the shirt for your body to fit through
when you put it on!**

step four
cut a line in the middle of the shirt where you would like the shorts
to be for your playsuit. then cut diagonally to make a triangle joining
at the top of the middle cut.

step five
sew along the diagonal lines to meet at the top [it's best to sew along
the line a few times to ensure that it will not rip!] and thats the shorts
done.

step six
sew the buttons from the bottom of the shirt in between the buttons at
the top of the shirt [if you like].

FINISHED.
- worn on it's own the playsuit will be quite baggy, so make sure you
sinch it in with a cute belt.
