Men's Button Up Shirt

white peasant dress with 3 ruffles down the front

 For Project Run and Play season 6 week 5 the challenge is using a men's button up shirt to create your look.

I went looking around for inspiration and to see what other people have come up with and here are some ideas I found:

• Colorblock button up shirt
• Daddy's Little Girl Dress (clever back detail)
• men's dress shirt to girl's dress 
• The Shirt Jumper
• drawstring shirt (maybe could be made into a drawstring dress?)
• white shirt to little girl summer dress

• girl's shirt dress 
• sleeves to toddler pants 
• men's dress shirt sleeves to pants tutorial

 You can find lots of ideas with how-tos in the Cut Up Couture book by Koko Yamase. Only 3 chapters in this book and one whole chapter is devoted to just men's shirt which includes 16 projects…

 here are photos of quite a few of them...

 ...loving the details on this dress & tunic...

 ...and loving this skirt made out of sleeves...

Do you plan to sew along for the men's button up shirt challenge? If so, what do you plan on sewing? I'm really interested in seeing what everyone comes up with for this challenge.
