The college I work at has a fashion department and not surprisingly I’m quite friendly with the members of staff who work there. Every year they have a sale of old student work but inevitably some things don’t sell and those in the know get to rifle through the pile and take their pick.
I got this shirt and a few other things too – boy, does it have crazy sleeves but in every other respect it fits fine.
All I did was rip out the sleeves (which were huge, that’s about two feet of sleeve right there) and follow Rosie’s easy peasy tutorial on Craftster for making cap sleeves.
And this is the result:
Much cuter and more wearable!

What a great perk of your job! The cap sleeves make the blouse look fab.

much better! love it when it only takes something easy like that!
Such a pretty shirt from the start, but you've given it some zing with those fab sleeves!!
Like the tutorial for those of us who haven't got a clue ..nice one.
Agreed that the cap sleeves look much better than the original! And that's neat that the college will let you take student work--it's like free clothes from the next up-and-coming designers! Or something. :)
