REFLECTIONS: I have always mended husbands Ranch work clothes. My no shopping pledge means that they are up for Re-fashion.
Ruined RanchHouse clothes:
- give permission to experiment and to learn new skills
- sometimes turn out better than Ranch work clothes.
BEFORE: Ruined hoodie sweatshirt:
- from husbands well-worn
Ranch clothes
- looked like the barbed wire fence won
STEPS:
- Remove the ruined with holes hood, waist band, cuffs
- Cut down the neckline to remove holes in sweatshirt neck
- Add new waistband pieced from the ruined hood
- Add new neckband from the ruined waistband
- Turn and topstitch new sleeve hems.
AFTER:
- Grey ¾ sleeve sweatshirt for Spring loungewear.
- Not sure RanchHouse husband is getting this one back!

AFTER: 3/4 sleeve lounge sweat
without hoodie. He might not get this back. |

Wow, the new shirt has such a cool modern look to it. The lines are so simple and attractive. Keep it for yourself for sure.

I agree, it has such modern lines to it. A great idea for those worn out sweatshirts.

As expected I wore it last night. So comfy for Spring transition. Spring break is here so lots of Re-fash time. I have my eye on more of his worn sweats...
