What you need:
Blouse
Knit leggings
Pins
Needle/Machine
Thread
Seam Ripper 





Step 1:
Turn blouse inside out and use seam ripper to detach sleeve from blouse



Step 2: 
Pin the knit legging to the inside out blouse RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER

Sew! 
(I used a crisscross stitch to hold it together better)




Step 3:
Use the criss-cross setting on your sewing machine to finish the edges. 

I tailored the shirt to be smaller, so I also used criss-cross stitch on the main part of the blouse. 

 Step 4:
The knit leggings weighed the (delicate) blouse down at the sides, so what I ended up doing was create a "pinch" in the center to pull it all together a bit. 

I did this by literally pinching at the center front of the blouse and then hand sewing it together.


All done! :)
