Pattern Mixing

Hello Refashion Co-op. I had these two shirts with the same color schemes. The purple and coral colors matched very well. The purple shirt was a little too snug, but together maybe they would work out.

I cut  an opening up the back of the purple shirt. 

I cut a thin triangle from the back of the plaid shirt. I used the yard stick to make a straight cut. It was about 1 1/2 inches wide at the top and 5 1/2 wide at the bottom.

It was quick work to attach the plaid piece and then cut off the excess length and hemmed the bottom so the shirt was the same length all the way around.

Here is the finished shirt from the back. It is more roomy now and more comfortable to wear. I shortened the arms a little too. The sleeves were really long, or my arms are really short.....
