Snapshots - Shirt and tie upcycle project

After the success of my first shirt transformation project, I'm looking forward to my second. I've been thinking about it for weeks and finally got my ideas together. It's going to need both a shirt and tie. I have chosen this pink shirt with a pink, purple and magenta silk tie.

The first step is to unpick the seam on the tie and the seams holding the sleeves and pocket to the shirt. Sigh!...This is the part I hate the most. Let's get started then.

I'm making this for my mother, who loved the first shirt I made and straightaway put in an order for a shirt of her own. I'll post up pictures of my progress along the way.
