Into something from out of Africa :)
Just un-stitch the collar...
Close it up without the collar...
Use a piece of the collar to make two strips, making buttonholes at one end of each of them:
Attach to the inside of your rolled-up sleeves...
Buttons...
And tadaam!
(This is the "I've been sewing for too long just now" look)
Not terribly exciting, but more casual and therefore I'll probably wear it more now. The fit was fine, it was just such a boring shirt, and with my news director pounding the no white & no black on set rule... I had no use for a white collared shirt whatsoever! Hmm, I think this'll go quite well with that seersucker skirt...
Oh, and incidentally... my sewing supplies are going German on me!
I have been thinking about doing that to one of my collars. I like how you did the sleeves too. Very smart.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a quick fix project, but it made a world of difference
