Hello Refashion Co-op. My project today is a quick fix for a shirt that was too big. Well, just a little too big. The armholes are too low. They are revealing way too much. But I like this shirt, so I decided to try and save it.
First of all I knew I had to get rid of the tie in the back. It made me look pregnant. I connected the two pieces and made a belt that went around my whole body. It was more flattering that way.
To fix the armholes, I followed the existing shoulder seams and made a new seam about 1/2 an inch in. I cut off the extra fabric and tried it on.
Here is the new shoulder from the outside. The loose ruffle sleeve hides a multitude of sewing sins and I couldn't have done this with a fitted sleeve.
For more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.
Thanks, now go make something fun for yourself.
Nice save! That worked out well which is good. Nice pattern and colors to the topππ

haha Thanks Jennifer! You would see quite a crowded mess in that closet. It seems to be the overflow closet for the whole house.
