How to make two out of one!

Nope, it's not called "divorce"! This just shows - too much time can be dangerous! Okay, The new Ross- dress for less opened last month at St. Lucie. So I thought I should visit it and see how's everything. I found a blouse for $11.99. I looked at it and see potentials in it. 2 for the price of one. Actually, it fit but I just decided to alter it as I didn't like the way it hangs on the shoulder. So it is about an hour worth of planning, cutting, sewing and fitting. I have white scrap materials that had been hanging around. So I thought it's time to get rid of it!
Materials needed:
thread,needles, sewing machine if you have one. If not, you can use your hand to do some basic stitches & scissor, blade or something to undo the stitches. I used construction blade, as that's what I have.
Undo all the seams on the sides, and the spaghetti shoulder straps. Get the materials, on top of it lay over the blouse, mark, give allowance for mistakes & cut. Do some basic running stitches on the side, put it on and try. Cut two 1" strips of the white material, sew by hand if you're afraid to make mistakes. Once all is set and fitted, you can use the sewing machine for final stitches.
