Upcycle on the brink

Today I bought an old Danskin shirt at a rummage sale for .50 for the sole purpose of upcycling.  I don't like the original design--way too flashdance.   I will cut the armholes to follow two nicely placed stripes and cut several inches off the bottom and turn them into boy shorts.  In the end I will have a two-piece summer-weight pajama set costing 50 cents.  I love upcycling!
