I found this wonderful idea on another website and decided to give it a try! I mean, to make an abaya in just 2 hours seemed pretty impossible. So I looked into it and I must say, if you have some sewing experience (and I don't mean a professional), then you will find this very helpful and useful inshaAllah.
So the picture above is what I ended up making! Honestly, I love this abaya, because how light and durable it came out. I used to have this long shirt (knee length) but I hated that it wrinkled so much and stained really quickly. It was just hanging in my closet with no use. I also had a maternity abaya, that was made of grey linen but alhamdulillah I had my baby and was not using it at all. After reading the instructions, I decided to put them 2 together.
These are detailed pictures of the stitching and as you can see its not perfect (actually far from it) but it worked mashAllah!
These are the pictures of the exact process. You can use any shirt you have (preferably cotton) and that will be the top part of the abaya since it is the hardest part to sew. You simply mark the area below your chest and then add material to the bottom.

Sleeves. Here everything is simple too. You cut your shirt sleeves a little bit shorter (maybe 2 in but it really all depends on your taste) and add the same material you used for the body of the abaya. It will bring all of it together inshaAllah.
The original post had these pictures of the finished product and as you can see the author made her abaya's body start right at the chest line so its all your choice.
I hope you find this post useful and try it for yourself! Please let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy!
so cute and easy mash Allah
