DIY Tank Sleeve Button Up

As you know I am a big fan of button ups but during the summer they can get a little hot, so solution?
Tank sleeve button ups!

I went to Goodwill the other day and found a button up with such a beautiful print on it. But the selves made it look to western for my taste so, here is my tutorial on how to cut off the sleeves cleanly, you know, so it looks like you bought it that way.

Step 1. Find a shirt.


2. Pick apart the seem at each sleeve. A small pair of scissors works perfectly, be careful not to rip the fabric. 


3. For good measure I suggest you run the very edge of the sleeve through the sewing machine or hand stitch it, to prevent fraying. 

4. You're done! And now you have a brand new summer shirt!


Tomorrow I will post pictures of my outfit pairings with this shirt, and if you end up doing this DIY please comment and post pictures, I would love to see how yours turns out!
