Crop a Button-down

 Hello Readers. I am a little short so long shirts can seem really long. This green shirt was full of fun spring colors but it was so long. At least it seemed that way to me. Maybe it wasn't that short. It really needed to be shorter if I was going to wear it. Let's crop a button-down shirt. 

Before and after. 

The shirt was just too long on me but I liked those colors and stripes. 

I cut off about 8 inches of this shirt. I needed a bit of extra to turn under. 

 

I used my serger on the cut edge of the shirt. This fabric will fray pretty easily. 

 

I turned the edge under and sewed it down. 

 

I obviously had to shorten those pants. The legs were way too long. 

I hemmed the pant legs. easy-peasy. 

 

Everything is a better length for me and by that I mean everything is short! Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
