Introduction: DIY1703 - JAZZ-UP YOUR SHIRT

By Get dowbloadable pattern here
About: I am a denim upcycler. I beautify flaws and brokenness of old jeans because I think being damaged shouldn’t be the end of the story, but something more like a cliffhanger for the next chapter. My aim is …

I really have a fix on men's shirts right now. I cut their sleeves and
take off the collar. Then I apply upcycled denim around the neck and hop a new blouse.
