Upcycle Magic: A Denim Mashup & a Bonus Scrap Top!

In this tutorial, I take inspiration from Orly Shani, the DIY Designer (link below), and put my own creative spin on her denim shirt/sweatshirt mashup!

Along the way, you’ll learn: ✨ How to sew a sleeve placket like the ones on men’s shirts — the easiest and most reliable method. ✨ A clever scrap-busting hack for turning leftover fabric into a cute top using the Adrienne Blouse pattern from Friday Pattern Company.
