If you can sew a hem, you can transform one of your old tees into a cute strapless blouse.
You Will Need: An old T-shirt Measuring tape About five feet of sewing elastic Scissors A safety pin A needle and thread or a sewing machine Straight pins
Step 1: Choose a T-shirt Select a T-shirt, bearing in mind that if you use a shirt with writing or a design, it will end up upside-down on your new blouse.
Step 2: Prepare the elastic Measure the circumference of the area just above your breasts, and cut a piece of elastic in that length.
Step 3: Cut an opening Turn the tee inside out, and snip a small vertical opening on the bottom hem.
Step 4: Insert the elastic Attach a safety pin to one end of the elastic, insert the pin through the opening you’ve just made, and push the pin through the inside of the hem until it reaches the other side.
Step 5: Attach the ends Bunch the material over the elastic a bit, sew the two ends of the elastic together, and turn the shirt right side out.
Step 6: Cut the top Use straight pins to pin together the front and back of the shirt in a straight line from shoulder to shoulder, and cut off the material along that line; then hem the top of the shirt by hand or machine.
Step 7: Sew the sleeves shut Turn the shirt inside out again; fold the sleeves over the front of the shirt; sew the sleeves closed along the seam of the hem; then turn the shirt right side out.
Step 8: Slit a sleeve Cut a small, vertical slit into the hem at each end of one of the sleeves.
Step 9: Insert the elastic Cut a piece of elastic that is a bit shorter than the width of the sleeve; snake the elastic through the top side of the sleeve’s hem with a safety pin, scrunching up the fabric a bit; then sew the elastic to the fabric and sew up the slits.

Ahh.., smell that air??? No not that... With less than one full month of winter remaining it's time to start thinking about spring. Spring is a time for blooming flowers, longer days, warmer sun and of course a little spring upgrade to your wardrobe.
When upgrading I also remind women to think about the staples first. You don't want to blow your entire budget on just a couple of flare items, only to then peer inside of closet with nothing new to wear.
One of my favorite spring staples is the much vaunted, Madison Shirt. The Madison Shirt is the Spring version of your favorite city stretch shirt. They're clean and sophisticated with a perfect sexy fit. Right now NY & Company is offering a wide selection of these shirts for only $14.95.
