Big Man shirt turned Lil Man shirt

Tim bought a t-shirt at a mall vendor while we were on our honeymoon in Thailand. Unfortunately it's a little too fitted for him so it's been hanging around in our closet collecting dust. Didn't want to throw it away because I kinda like the logo on the shirt. It's cute. I had also bought a couple of these same brand shirts but of course girl versions and one of which I made it into a little girl shirt since it was a bit too small for me. That's what having kids does to a body. Well so I decided to sew shrink this baby down to Kaden size.

This is the original shirt in a sized M. It's more like an orange yellow. 

I basically used one of Kaden's shirt to use as a template for the shirt of the pieces. Rotary cutter, mat and ruler are necessities! 

Here are all the pieces cut. As for the sleeves I decided not to go with the same style as the original. I reused the hem from the bottom of the original shirt to use as the hem of the sleeves. I removed the old collar ribbing as well. 

First I put the front and back of the shirts, right sides facing each other and sew both of the shoulder parts together. 

Then I pinned the curved part of the sleeves right sides facing each other and sew it through. After both sleeves are sewn in, with the shirt inside out I start from the underarm part of the sleeve and sew all the way down to the bottom of the shirt. Do on both sides. I then pinned the black ribbing collar to the neckline and using a twin needle sewed it. (sorry no pics for that) 

Lastly I folded in the bottom of the shirt and hemmed it using a zigzag stitch to allow stretching. 

M: I count to three and you strike a pose. 

K: Mommy, what is a pose?

M: just do anything, like this (swinging arms, making faces)

Kadenisms

M: you need to clean up before playing with something else.

K: no, mommy and baby clean up. I'll sit here and wait.
