Upclycling a Men's Shirt into a Woman's Blouse

 Remember this men's shirt that I got at a thrift store back in August ...

Look at it now ...

I leveled out the ends and added a ruffled lace that I had in my 'fabric' pantry.  I then turned the sleeves in to 3/4 length, made a small 'pleat' in each sleeve and topped the pleat with a button that came from my button collection.

I then paired it with a pair of jeans and wore it to our church's fall festival.

The only cost I incurred was the cost of the shirt ... $5.99 and of course, my time.

Next in line for upcycling is the pair of oversized jeans I purchased the same time I purchased this shirt.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing this transformation and maybe it will inspire you to look at clothing in a different way.  

Until next time,
