This week I made a resolution to start using up the clothing items in my "alter-me and I will be beautiful" clothing pile. This pile has grown to about 4 skirts, 5 tops, and various other pieces of clothing. It may not seem like alot but being that I am working out of my bedroom for alterations and this pile is taking up my floor space.

Well as I wasstalking pursuing Katy's awesome blog: Sweet Verbena (if you haven't checked it out, well, you should!...like right now) I discovered this tutorial:

and then I thought "hmmm....that cowl neck adds extra fabric around the neck region...I'll bet that it would work just splended on those shirts I have at home!"
And so I did. And it did...work that is! See for yourself:
