Personally I love things that are a little more raw--distressed denim, worn in boots, etc. This blouse was fine as-is (shown below in an outfit post from last year) but I decided to remove the sleeves, leave them with their frayed edge, and add a denim collar (made from a hem I removed from a pair of too-long jeans). The arm holes are pretty big/open so I picture it being worn with a bandeau top underneath.

I am collecting more denim scraps and button up tops in hopes of having a few of these up for grabs. Hope you like it!

So cute! And I LOVE that you used the excess from hemming jeans. I never throw any scrap fabric away. My favorite is using the 5-7 inches from shortening a dress to make a new skirt for myself.

Thank you! Yeah....I can never bring myself to throw out scrap fabric! You never know what you might need it for!
