Floral Blouse

This flowered, polyester skirt set me back a whole $1.50, and as you can see, I'm sucking some major gut to squeeze into it.

Floral Blouse - Before

I used my go-to tank top pattern as a jumping-off point. I raised the neckline a bit and added a Peter Pan collar. Strips of fabric from the scraps were used to bind the edges.

Floral Blouse - After

I love how you always bind the edges with extra fabric. It makes it look so neat and professional. I am going to have to start doing that. Thanks for all the inspiration!
