This is really cute! I found this on Pinterest and just had to see how it was done. Thank you for the tutorial! I like Laura's idea about the skinny jeans and leather jacket..

Such a great idea! I have a lot of sheer and lace tops that I don't wear but now I know what to do with them.

Great tips and outfit ideas, ladies!! I was also thinking structured jacket would be cute!

Your ideas are genius! I have sooo many shirts with weird sleeves. Duplicating this will help them work under a structured jacket :) running to closet!

I'd wear it with skinny jeans, heels, and a slim jacket! leather, or perhaps a jean jacket with black pants.

A tip: if you have a Hobby Lobby, and your HL has a cloth diaper section, there's fold over elastic there. Mine just got their CD section in the fall. Obviously the colors run toward pastel baby shades, but it's a place to look! (Oh, and great refashioning!)

Looks fabulous, and way to go on reusing what you have!

Great save on this top - you will wear it heaps now...

Gorgeous! It would be lovely with a skirt, I&#39;d wear it with jeans too.<br /><br />FOE is great to work with once you get the hang of it. I used it to make cloth nappies with, it&#39;s readily available online from cloth nappy materials websites.

Thanks, ladies!<br /><br />Great question on the FOE... it was hard to find, but I ended up finding some at Mill End in Beaverton, although I&#39;m sure the huge one in Milwaukie has it too. I&#39;ve also seen it at Bolt on Alberta, although not in many colors. I&#39;m sure you can get it online somewhere, too!

Great refashioning! I wish there were better sources for foldover elastic in my area.

Wow, beautiful!!! Do you purchase your fold-over elastic online or locally? If online, do you mind sharing where? I&#39;d like to try it on a project I have in mind...

I&#39;ve been eyeing that exact lace fabric from an etsy seller. They have it in white too.

Love this! I have a similar black sheer top with weird sleeves like that. I may have to do the same thing!

So gorgeous and modern flapper-y. I have a couple of lace things languishing in my closet that I might actually wear if I went this route with them...

Pretty! The contrasting tee underneath really shows the nice lace. Is foldover elastic available in most fabric stores?

Cute! I remember seeing that shirt last year but I also didn&#39;t like the sleeves. Maybe I should&#39;ve gotten it to do this!
