Proceed to cut along this line.

Continue to mark and cut the inside of the blazer.
4. Pin the hem
Next, fold the edges of the jacket over a little bit and pin them down to create a hem.

Here is the finished look. I’m wearing a pink top underneath to tie in with the seam tape. I love the asymmetrical design with one full sleeve and one strappy sleeve and how my shoulder is fully exposed.
This is such a unique look that I haven’t seen before - perhaps this tutorial will start a trend! If you liked this post, leave me a comment!
