Refashioned White Blouse-Beginner Project


Hi Everyone!

.Oh! The perils of being in my fifties... (did I just admit that?) I am determined to make my fifties fabulously fashionable but...there are times I need a little help. I try to eat right and visit they gym as often as I can, but sometimes little surprises can sneak up on you. Some of these, "surprises" are not so good...like a waistline that seems to suddenly disappear on you overnight. You start wondering...can I blame it on the washer and dryer? Did I shrink my clothes?

.Meet the mysterious shrinking blouse. (yeah right! Have some more chocolate cake Mary!!!) Still, it needed help. I could not button it without showing my burgeoning middle aged waistline.  Here is the front and back before.

 How did I do it?  Well,  it involved some old place mats and a little bit of time.
See the entire tutorial here!
'til next time....
