baggy to perfect sweatshirt

I always have a hard time finding shirts that fit me right. I am tall and broad shouldered, so if it fits in the body, the sleeves & hem are too short, if it's a good length, and the sleeves are right, then it's too big in the body. Now I just buy something at the thrift store that is the right length, and take it in. I just put it on inside out, pinned it how I wanted it to fit, sewed along the pins, then cut off the excess.

Much better!


To see what else i've been up to lately, like a quilt made from felted sweaters, and a dog bed from a thrift store crib bumper & throw pillow, check out my blog!
