Second Edition of "DIY or DI-Don't"

Yay! Today I am going to set aside time to do another DIY or DI-Don't! I am in LOVE with this! I really love doing crafts, so any time I get to do them I am ecstatic! I have been scowering Pinterest for the perfect DIY to try! I have a very big DIY board.. so you would think it wouldn't be that hard...but I couldn't seem to find "the one".
After several minutes, and going through my blog Pinterest, as well as my personal, I am pleased to say I found a GREAT idea!
Check it out!
 This is the original blog, from which I found the idea.. Shop with Pippa.
I knew this idea would be perfect because, I too have a denim jacket that won't fit.. But instead, it is too small, not too big.. I can't even bend my arms or reach my hands above my head. It's just a pretty un-wearable jacket that sits in my closet.. But today, it will soon be wearable again!

So, here is the jacket...

Pretty drab compared to what it is now!
I started off by laying out the jacket and grabbing some really big scissors! I began to cut the sleeve, I made sure to stay really close to the seam, because I didn't want any extra fabric hanging around the arm hole. I wanted a clean cut.

I continued to cut all the way around, until I cut the the arms completely off.
 That was pretty much it.. It was SUPER easy! And I think it turned out GREAT! The jacket looks TEN TIMES better!
Here it is!
So, this is what it looks like now!
I hope you liked this "DIY or DI-Don't! I know it wasn't much of a "tutorial".. But, I really liked the way this turned out! If you have a Denim Jacket that is too big or too small I recommend doing this!

Stick around for another "edition"! Coming soon!,
Zoe
