Upcycled T-shirt with Poufy Sleeves and Sash

I've seen a lot of blouses at the mall that mixed wovens with knits.  I never sewed anything like that before and wanted to give it a try.  I found these two shirts at the thrift store.

I liked the tulip print on the red blouse and found a t-shirt to match.

I chopped the sleeves off both tops.  I kept the sleeves from the red blouse and the bodice from the t-shirt.  Then I serged the sleeves to the bodice.

I finished off the sleeves with gathers and a band.  I made a sash with the rest of the red blouse.
