Hello Practically Pink readers! I'm Ashley over from Bramblewood Fashion where I blog with my sister, Gabrielle. We post every-other-day/weekly modest outfits and a bunch of other girly & vintage-y things. I hope y'all will come over and say hello! Anyways, I'm excited to be guest blogging while Emily is away at camp right now. I have a fun summer DIY post for y'all today: how to refashion an old blouse. It involves hardly any work at all.

~ A blouse to refashion
~ Scissors
Here is what the blouse looked like before I chopped the sleeves off. It is just an old Christopher & Banks blouse from several years ago. You can use any blouse you want {even those from the '80s}!
1) Fold the blouse in half, making sure match those seams!

2) Cut off both sleeves {or, one at a time} somewhat close to the armhole seam. Doing this is allows for no sewing to be involved during the whole project.
3) As you are cutting off the sleeves, it should start to look like this. =)

4) Sleeves are now off. You can now check your armholes and see of any of the fabric needs to be trimmed to be more even all around. Just remember, it doesn't have to be perfect.
Here is how my armhole looks like.
Ta-da! You have just finished refashioning a blouse! You can always wear a tank/cami underneath if the armholes come down too low for you while wearing your "new" top.
