So I picked up this lavender t-shirt at the dollar store last year - a dollar because there was a fairly good sized hole in the front of the shirt which was then patched...badly. I liked the shirt just fine, but it was one of those 'wear under button-up' type shirts.
This week I ventured out and picked up a remnant of some adorably cute My Little Pony cotton fabric that had this particular purple color in it, so I decided yesterday it would become a wearable-something. What started as a sundress became a tunic top and then just a regular top is what I now call the Pony Prancing Shirt. Hooray.
P.S. This shirt is incredibly girly. I am not. It's okay to be confused.
This project has no base other than I was going to make it work, DAMMIT. I ripped out a lot of seams yesterday with this project. Tutorial forthcoming.

Here is the front view of the Pony Prancing Shirt. It's...purple. And aqua and pink. These colors I do not wear, normally, but this is too cute to not wear. Here you can see the basic outline of the top with the added 'pony sleeves' and the weird fabric thing at the bottom. Notice the adorable bowtie. I just sewed that on there - it's has no other purpose than to girlify the already girly top.

Back of the shirt. This part didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, mainly because of the stretchy cotton the shirt was made out of. I did have it much longer in the back, but it didn't fit over my butt very well, so I shortened it. It fits all right, considering I wasn't working with a pattern at all.

Side view. Here you can see a 'pony sleeve' as well as the side seam in the shirt. The t-shirt originally had no side seams, so I made them in order to shape it better.

Too...cute...for...words.

Remember that badly patched hole? Now it's the 'pony pocket'. No, I don't think actual ponies would fit in this pocket, but it does have a pony on it.

Very cute and girly. I'm both confused and giggly at the end result. *grin*
