Do it yourself: turn a men’s dress shirt into a cute blouse
Press entire shirt flat at seams with iron on high- always consider the type of material when using an iron. Never burn your threads!
Cut sleeves off evenly- avoid any “jagged” cuts.
Turn the shirt inside out and mark curves to give a more feminine fit to the shirt.
Take both sleeves that were separated from the shirt body; and cut down the arm seam.
Lay the cut open sleeve flat on your ironing board- press with your hot iron
Yes- this quadrilateral is supposed to illustrate a sleeve cut open and pressed/ironed flat. In the next step it will be clear why we did this…
Cut strips of fabric that are two inches wide using a ruler to get uniform cuts. Do this for each sleeve, as you will be using this material as bias tape.
We will use the sleeves to make bias tape for our sleeves and add an accent waist strap for our new re-fashioned top.
I will post future items on how exactly bias tape making works- but for now you can check out this blog at www.danamadeit.com to see how it is done.
The finished product includes bias taped sleeves, and a waist tie accent.
