Hello friends!
As I‘d teased a little while ago…
The beta launch for the DIY Men’s Shirt Makeovers System is open!
YAY!! *Throws confetti*
This is the ONLY system for at-home clothing makeovers out there, and I’m thrilled to make this available to all of you at this super low price.
With this system, you will:
- Find inspiration in your closet – or your guy’s closet – as the starting point for raw materials.
- Hit up Goodwill or another thrift store and get some great shirts for cheap (and do some good for charity at the same time!).
- Never overpay for piles of fabric from the fabric store (hello $12.99/yd pricetags!) again.
- Make finished shirts, dresses, and skirts without even having to step foot in the craft store.
- Make clothing that fits correctly, each time, without patterns.
- Give old clothing a new life, rather than selling it or giving it away.
- Create a gift for someone special in your life, from a shirt that has meaning or importance – made over into something she can use and enjoy.
- Whip up projects quickly, because you’re starting with materials that are already made – and you are reconstructing them and making them over from that point.
- Make cute clothing for yourself, friends, family, kids, or even stuffed animals – from shirts you already have.
- Put your own personal stamp on your pieces – and get creative!
And more!
Included in the system are:
- DIY Sewing Secrets: Fast & Easy Shortcuts to Finished PDF ebook (25 secret tricks, hacks, and shortcuts to creating perfect projects every time)
- 7 DIY Men’s Shirt Makeovers PDF ebook (the core of the System, with 8 tutorials for intermediate shirt makeovers)
- Sewing Basics Decoded: What Every DIYer Should Know PDF ebook (covers beginning sewing techniques and setting up your space and equipment)
- Select the Right Shirt! 8 Rules for DIY Success checklist (how to find the best shirts for your DIY makeovers)
- DIY Project Planner calendar (assists in planning out the projects from my core book)
AND along with the system I have a couple awesome upgrades as well…
- DIY Cute Summer Shirtdress video tutorial (for all of you who’ve been asking for the video tutorial, here it finally is!)
- DIY Men’s Shirt Makeovers Private Facebook Group (we hang out and chat about shirt makeovers, sewing, creativity, and all sorts of fun things!)
- DIY Project SOS Live Help (2 weekly 1-hour Facebook Live sessions where we work through projects together and you get your questions answered)
- 8 No-Sew DIY Shirt Scrap Makeovers PDF ebook (finally, projects using up all the shirt scraps from your DIY shirt makeovers!)
All this is available now, for a limited time at this current price – since it’s a beta launch and I am collecting feedback to make sure it’s the best system out there for you!

Hello friends!
Today I’m sharing this huge secret I’ve been working on for awhile…
In TWO WEEKS (Tuesday 5/26) I am going to open up the beta launch of the DIY Men’s Shirt Makeovers System!
I am so excited to share this with you all…and am just now putting the finishing touches on it.
I’ve been working on this for a total of…well…2 YEARS now, and I’m thrilled to finally be able to share it with you.
So why did I create this?
- SO many people have asked me over the years for photographs for some of my most sought-after tutorials, that I’d posted early on the blog but that never had a clear step-by-step.
- SO many people had questions about project steps that were confusing from my old tutorials.
- SO many people wanted to level up their sewing skills to tackle tutorials I’d posted, but it was hard to help them.
- And SO many people wanted MORE shirt makeover tutorials in general!
So I put together this comprehensive system to answer all that…and more!
So what will this system do for YOU?!
It will:
- provide you with new shirt makeover tutorials – some of which I’ve never shared anywhere else (including on this site!)
- create a comprehensive step-by-step photographed walkthrough of some of my most-requested shirt makeovers
- share sewing tips, tricks, and hacks that I’ve amassed over the last 12+ years
- help you choose the best shirts to make over for your DIY projects
- and more…
…for less than the cost of a store-bought pattern and store-bought fabric (because seriously, who needs to buy stuff like that these days??)
The beta launch will open in two weeks (Tuesday, May 26) – and I can’t wait to see you there!

Hello friends…and hellloooo 2017! I’m excited for this New Year and what it brings. How about you?
As I announced on New Year’s Eve…this year will bring a lot of changes to Chic Steals. One new thing I’m trying is to share content in different ways: like email, direct to my subscribers. This allows for a much more personalized approach, which I’m excited about. (You may have noticed a new popup on this website prompting you to signup!)
The first email:
10 Days to Kickstart Your Creativity Email Newsletter
Ever wanted a creative boost to start off the month with a bang? Sign up for 10 Days to Kickstart Your Creativity – a free daily email jam-packed with helpful tips and tricks to get your brain revved and ready for new ideas.
Part science, part pop culture, part inspiration – with daily to-dos and prompts that will get you excited about tapping into your more creative self.
Even if you think “I’m not creative at all!” – or if you feel you’ve hit a roadblock and need a mental refresh – 10 Days to Kickstart Your Creativity will start your month off right and reset past burnout to get those neurons firing again.
I’ve been blogging at Chic Steals for 9 years now, sharing creative DIY tutorials for accessories, jewelry, apparel, and home. I’ve always felt I was a creative person, and the blog became an outlet to share that with the world, in the form of advice, how-to’s, and ideas. I’ve spoken at events and conferences about creativity, guest-lectured, and coached clients to train themselves to become more creative. And now I’m sharing that expertise with you.
What many people may not know is that creativity is something that can be trained. Though people may think that certain people are just born creative, in fact, the ability to find connections between seemingly unrelated things, make mental leaps, and create things which did not exist before can be cultivated, honed, and exploded. I won’t lie, it does take work and effort, but results can be astounding. Just by attempting to make new habits, pattern disrupt, and opening your mind to possibilities you begin to reset ingrained ways of thinking and expand your capabilities.
This is a 10-day series of emails expressly designed to fire up those creative neurons, reframe your thinking, and supercharge your creative skills. I hope you will join me so I can share many of the tips and tricks I’ve learned with you!
It’s totally free; no obligation. Emails begin January 15, for the next 10 days. If you’re a regular subscriber to the RSS feed – you won’t be getting this exclusive series, unless you sign up below:
Edit 1/15: Registration for 10 Days to Kickstart Your Creativity is now closed. I’ll be opening it up again in the future, so please check back!
Hope to see you there!
