Giant Zorro Tshirt now a cute tank top

[inbetweenday]

got this giant zorro tshirt when i was a kid and a bit obsessed with the zorro show that was on the family channel
finally i can actually wear it as something other than a night gown

That turned out great!!
Any advice or tutorial?
I have shirts I want to make smaller, but I'm worried about ruining the shirt, so I usually make them into pillows.

any special technique? tutorial?

i took a tank top that i knew fit me and used it as a guideline to make a pattern of my own (you can see it in the first pic)
i made the pattern geometric becuz i was having trouble with curves
i added an inch to the outside to give me enough material for a seam
i sewed the pieces together and then some hems around the edges

i hope this helps...

Zorro?  THE Zorro show?  From the 50s?!  With Guy Williams?  And the theme song that goes 'Out of the night when the full moon is bright comes the horseman known as Zorro!'?!?!?!?!

OMG I LOVED that show too.  I watched it every single night, only when I watched it was on Vault Disney.  Man.  I have been waiting years for it to come out on DVD or at least re-air.  I loved it so bad.

I'm hoping it's the same show as the one you liked.  Otherwise I'll look like a total ass.

But anyway!

Good job on the reconstruction!  It looks nice!  I would wear it with pride
