My DIY cropped button embellished blouse

Got a dowdy retro blouse that could use a touch of refashionista magic?

Grab your scissors and button stash and let’s get making!

Put the blouse on and mark your desired length (+ seam allowance) with a pin.

Chop on through and give it a nice clean hem.

Sift through your button stash and spend some time stitching the ones that coordinate best around the hem of your freshly cropped blouse. (full disclosure: I only added buttons to the front of my blouse because sewing on buttons is time consuming ugh, amiright?)
