Turn a long-sleeved T-shirt into an evening top by stitching a narrow ‘crystal' studded trim around the neck and the lower edge of the sleeves. Pin the trim around the neck edge, overlapping and turning under the ends at one shoulder seam. Pin the trim around the lower edges of the sleeves, overlapping and turning under the ends at the sleeve side seams. Stitch the trim in place using a zipper foot on the machine. Add a beaded feather brooch to complete the look.
