My mommy's old blouse!

I have finally finished exams, so yeah, I'm back into sewing again! Finally. Which also mean I have time for blogging too since I abandoned it but I'm sure you can understand why. Exams have to come first :D So, I found this piece in my mom's old closet. And I'm emmm, not liking it. Instead, I'm loving it! As soon as I see this blouse, I knew exactly what I'm going to do wit it. I'm gonna make it (should I say ALTER it ) my vintage blazer/jacket.




Mommy's blouse : It's maroon and it's beautiful. The fabric sorta thick but soft. Got collar. And, it's big! -_-

So, here's what I'm going to do :
1. Get rid of those collar. 
2. Put pads on both shoulders
3. Resize it into my size. (i'm kinda small)
4. Adding a few buttons on the opposite side (sew across the holes)


So, finally, it looks like this! 

Buttons on both sides

(Totally ignore the poses, please? Am not good at it -_-)

DONE! :)

With Love, Hanim xoxo
