Refashioned Blouse
naomimoore94:
You Will Need:
- Thrifted men’s shirt - collared, nice fabric and too big - sewing machine - scissors
Step 1. Remove the shirt sleeves. Set aside for later use:
Step 2. Slim the torso - do not make it fitted, but make a fairly straight line quite close to your body. This will create a gap in the underarm area: this can be easily fixed with a bust dart.
