Description
I wanted a Captain America outfit for the 4th of July, so I DIY'ed it. I'm seriously sad that whoever is in charge of marketing the Avengers movie hasn't tapped into the women's clothing fanbase. All the stuff I've found is for guys!The skirt pattern is A6944 by NewLook. It's available at Walmart. I'm going to make another skirt with the same pattern that has all the Avengers on it.

Great tutorial! Some questions: what type of stitch do you use? Zig-zag? Or some type of decorative stitch? Size? Regular presser foot? A bunch of WW tees waiting to be altered...

I use a standard straight stitch (size 3) and a regular presser foot. Nothing fancy. I also plan for 5/8 inch seam allowances as I alter my material. Good luck with your alterations!

Wow! This is awesome! I have a whole bunch of t-shirts I got because it was the only one the store had left of that design. (My Dir En Grey shirt, for instance) But they were to damn huge!! I'll have to try this sometime

This is so helpful! Nothing in American stores fit me so I really need to learn how to alter my own clothes. I have so many t-shirts in need of a trim.

You have just solved all of my problems. Well, most of them. I am very petite and I RARELY find any shirts that fit. If they're small enough in the width, they're far too short in length! Also, many geeky tshirts don't come in babydoll sizes (that can sometimes still be too big!)
I can't wait to try this out.

This is really cool! Nice work! I'd love to find a tutorial on how to convert a small ladies shirt to a larger mens shirt myself, I have this tiny shirt with a print I love that doesn't come in mens styles D:

That's strange that you can't find woman's Captian America shirts... They're pretty everywhere here, and I'm in Canada. o_o;
Oh well, it's pretty cool though! If I still have my Inigo Mantoya shirt I would have done it to that, but it fits my bf nice! :3

A lot of shops just seem to cater to big people in general. I'm petite, as is nearly everyone I know... Usually even small sized things are enormousness, but we're not overly thin! It's just how we're built! Taking things in seems to be a constantly needed task. I've always just took things in by making measurements, but this method looks a lot simpler (and foolproof) way to do it! Thanks! ♥

I've been looking to do that to one of my Dr. Who shirts! Thanks a ton!

Nice. I'm losing a lot of weight and too poor to go out and buy a new wardrobe so I might just use this as a guide to altering my clothes that will (hopefully) soon be WAAAAAAAAAAY too big on me.

OMG! I loved the final outfit!... Including the skirt- how did you make the skirt- or did you buy it? owo
