Taking It In, Part I: The Basics

I so thoroughly enjoyed doing my Hawaii series, I thought I'd try another theme. I've got several button-up shirts that need to be taken in. I've spent the past couple weekends experimenting with different ways to accomplish that. We'll start out simple with this bland, boxy, white blouse.

I didn't do anything fancy with this one. I just took in the sides and sleeves, added darts, and shortened the sleeves. Now I've got a nice button-up blouse to wear with slacks to work or with jeans on the weekend.

More details on my blog, CarissaKnits. And stay tuned for Part II...

Good job on getting a new look and fit! It will look even better when you iron it.
