I had this over sized denim top crumpled in the bottom of my closet and could not for the life of me figure out how to wear it, so I figured that I could chop it up a bit and if I didn't like how it turned out then I could just well....leave it a crumpled mess on the bottom of my closet. I actually really like it! It's comfy and mimicks a peplem top (which we all know lately I can't get enough of). It was really simple to do too!
Here's how to do it:
1. I took the sleeves off and chopped the shirt in half an inch and a half below my waist.
2. I took the top half in to fit my bust and waist.
3. I gathered the bottom half until it now was the same size as the top half and then sewed it back onto the top half.
4. And then I replaced the sleeves!
Ta da!
.... and yes dance parties spontaneously break out around here.
THat IS so cute!

You did a great job with it. Love the final look.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! What a great idea. Question though... why do you removed the sleeves? Can you do it keeping the sleeves on? Sewing sleeves on scares me.
ReplyDeleteYou are super talented lady!!! And dance parties are a ritual at my home too...hehe
