Well of course it was!
This is the finished item.
I just reduced the sleeves/collar and button/button tabs to Ben-sized pieces and reconstructed it!
I just hope it fits.
Below is the little notepad that I found whilst tidying out cupboards.
It has a quote on each page and I thought this one was apt for our post today..
Sending a big virtual hug to all those in need of one!

Excellent work on the blouse - hate seeing good fabric going to waste and I'm sure it will look great on Ben. Great quote from Camus x Jckie 26
Love the little shirt Jo. My legs were always shorter than yours so guess I always walked behind you but these day I do my best to walk at your side and we have always been the best of friends haven't we? :-)
Hugs,

Oh, I bet that little shirt will be fantastic for Ben! You are clever :-). Thank you so much for the pattern for the dolly jumpers, much appreciated. And that quote is brilliant and so apt for WOYWW!

You recycle fabric in an AMAZING way. I wish I had your talent, skills, and maybe even your sewing machines (grin).
That really IS a great quote. Happy WOYWW from #2.

'Just' reduce this, shorten that....presto! You're so clever, bet Ben will look great in his new shirt! Love the open house-ness of your post, the quote could not be better!
love that plaid fabric! I am collecting quotes to put on my art journal pages. I am sure this one will work perfectly into a scheme I am working on now. Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #61

What a lovely little shirt - aren't you clever, I wouldn't know where to begin! Like you I don't know where the time goes, I thought life would calm down with Christmas and New Year out of the way! Hope you have a good week and thanks for stopping by!
