Me: Yeah? (Very distracted doing something else)
The Man: Well, I got it just the right size, and it shrunk in the wash. The sleeves are too short. I should have bought a size bigger. Good thing it only worked out to be $4 after all those sales.
Me: (Stops everything) Gimme! I can use to make clothes for the kids.
That's how it is nowadays. I'm always please when I have a refashion candidate!
I was particularly pleased about it having orange on it, because it turns out that my other daughter has to wear orange and black to school as well.
(Costumes are no longer the only thing you have to worry about during Halloween, it seems. Sometimes, you have to have orange and black clothing as well. Just so you know)
The collar is quite small, I did not need to make any adjustments.
Using a shirt that fits well as a template:
Black cat stencil (using freezer paper stencil and black glitter fabric paint)
I was quite please with it, but you know what my daughter said when she saw it?
"But I wanted a pirate on it"
Hehe... so much for gratitude :)

Man. You want to come and take over my sewing machine for a while? It would appreciate someone of your skill :)
Oh my gosh - GENIUS! Really? You just fold the shirt in half and cut another shirt out of it?!
I love your refashions! :)
And I had to LOL at the pirate comment - sounds like something my daughter would say. heh.
Hmm, never understood the whole fascination with pirates... they're dirty and probably smell bad too! Your black cat is sweet and cute and feminine... perfect for a little girl!
love this!
