A Shirt Sleeve Refashion

 Hello Readers. I liked the colors of this black and tan outfit. But it did not fit well at all. Let's rework this outfit from top to bottom and make something better.

Before and after.

 

The shirt was too long, the sleeves had weird cuffs that were too tight, the pants were too long... Let's go.

 

I started by cutting the sleeves. I angled my cut towards the shirt. This sleeve is really full and as a short sleeve it will be ruffled and cute. This also removes the long cuffs that were tight on me. Do I have big arms? I don't know, but this will fix the problem and look cute.

 

 I used my serger on the cut edge then I went to the sewing machine, turned the edge under once and stitched it down.

 

I cut the shirt shorter in length. It was very long on me and I knew I wanted to tuck it in. The original length was a little too much to tuck.

 

I used my serger on the cut edge again, turned the edge under and stitched it down with my sewing machine. 

 

The shirt had a new shape now. I liked the fluttery sleeves a lot. The weather will get warmer soon so short sleeves will be great. 

 

These khaki pants were also great but the legs were a bit too long. (#shortgirlproblems)

 

I cut off a couple inches from the pant legs. 

 

I made a new hem and the pants were done.
 

My whole black and tan outfit came together nicely. It has been really rainy here so this was perfect with my raincoat from last time. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
