Feelin' Hot to Go with this jersey upcycle! 🔥⚾ Using the #sagepattern as a base, I added a 1" elastic to cinch the waist and raise the hemline, then finished it off with a faux drawstring tie—perfect for my cheering and snapping photos at my son's baseball game.

Maybe something with a more fitted bodice and little gathered skirt? Should I do two different styles or just make it easier on myself and choose the same pattern for both?
