#14 for September Back to School.
*I pledge not to buy any new RTW or thrifted for my new "Back to School" wardrobe.
*I pledge to shop from my closet.
BEFORE:
- The skirts were in the closet & refashioned with hem & button changes a few years back.
- Shopping the closet turned up the matching yellow linen tops bought in the same garage sale.
- These were the same fabric and the same brand.
- Problem was, the overshirt had the short sleeves and the undershirt had the long. sleeves.
- Have an "aha" moment to realize that I could switch the sleeves in the tops so they cold be worn as a set.
- Removed the sleeves from both tops. Sleeve caps & armcycles matched.
- Baste, stitch, serge the sleeves in place.

I like this 'shopping in your own closet' idea. I think we all have plenty of clothes already if we are honest.
Nice job. I like your idea of doing something new wth your wardrobe.

Smart thinking to swap the sleeves. They make a nice set.
