Hello Readers. I love a matching set. Give me a two-piece outfit. I loved this blue set but the top was a little more cropped than I wanted. Let's make it a bit longer.
Before and after.

This top was cute but I am 53 and I have had 3 kids. My stomach does not need or want to see the light of day. I prefer to keep it hidden away. If this shirt was a bit longer it would cover my mommy tummy when I wore it with the matching high-waited pants from the set.
I decided to open the seam at the hem of the shirt and add this trim. That would add about 2 1/2 inches of length to the top.
I used my seam ripper removed the stitches all around the hem of the shirt.
When the hem was opened, I could iron the hem flat. This was precious length that I wanted to have on my shirt.

Next, I sewed the trim to the hemline of the shirt. I sewed around the hem of the shirt and made the shirt look nicely finished, and it made the shirt longer.
I loved the outfit. It was light weight cotton and would be great for summer. I made a matching bracelet too. You can read about it in the previous post. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
