I have a big pile of clothes in my sewing room that is waiting to be altered, repaired, or refashioned. I’m embarrassed to say that some items have been in that pile for well over a year (or even two)!<\/p>\n

Most of the items are pieces I really love that just need a few tweaks to make them ready to wear, but others like this shirt, are a shopping mistake that just sit on the pile just taunting me with its blandness.<\/p>\n

I bought this beige linen button down shirt at Uniqlo a few years ago, along with a matching blue one to wear to Dubai<\/a>. They both fit really well, but unlike the blue shirt, which I’ve worn holes through<\/a> because I love it so much, this beige one just collected dust in my wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> The colour is just so beige. I thought I’d wear it heaps, I mean how can you go wrong with a neutral linen? But it drained all the colour from my skin and made me feel so dull while wearing it.<\/p>\n

I had it in a pile earmarked for an indigo dye pot, but while tidying up my craft room this week, I found some fabric paint left over from another project, and had an idea – A painterly shirt makeover!<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a boring old shirt that doesn’t get much wear, try brightening it up with some bold graphic designs in your favourite colours. This shirt makeover took me under one hour from start to finish.<\/p>\n

Kind of a boring beige shirt. I like the cut and the fit, but the bland colour just made me look blah<\/em> and really sallow – I hated wearing it.<\/p>\n
