Refashion: Another way to Extend Kid's T-Shirt Life

My little girl's school has decided that this Halloween, instead of a costume, the kids will wear Orange and Black. Great! Except, my girl does not own anything orange and black.
I did keep this small black shirt from when she was 2 years old. It says "Mum's Ruin".... hahaha!
In my refashion pile, was this awesome long-sleeved shirt that fit awkwardly around the shoulders. It has orange sleeves! Woohoo!

You've seen it sold at stores, and you've seen it done online. I think there are a few tutorials out there that shows you how to add long sleeves and add length to a t-shirt. However, I just can't seem to find them right now. I'll add onto this post when I do.

Here's how it looks:


Yes, OK, I rolled the hem at the bottom instead of making a real hem. I was a little lazy.... just a little.

Thanks for reading!

P.S. - Did you realize that I had a punny title? Extend sleeves... extend life... ;D

Cute, mama. I picked up some t-shirts at Old Navy tonight ($2.50 a piece!) to do a refashion for my kid sister's birthday. I'm so excited!
