2. Turn your blazer inside out

Start off by turning your blazer inside out and putting it on.

3. Gather and pin the fabric

Next, accordion fold an inch or two of the upper sleeve (above the elbow). How much fabric you fold will determine how cropped the final look is. You can watch how to do this step in the video above. Carefully secure your fold with a safety pin.
