REFLECTIONS: Spring Break!!! I am far behind on my school
year goal to Re-fashion 10 items per month. My Spring Break goal is to complete
one item per day for the next 10 days.
BEFORE: Plaid cotton work-shirt
- Re-fashioned years ago from men’s shirt.
- I made the sleeves too short for easy wear over long
sleeves.
- Too snug for easy layering.
- Collar was removed long ago
STEPS:
- Open side and sleeve seams.
- Leave sleeve cap seam. Clip the sleeve seam. Trim sleeve 2” from seam. Serge. Turn to make arm-hole facing. Topstitch.
- Cut and insert side panel cut from the sleeves. I
did not taper the panel so it would make an unfitted vest. Serge, topstitch.
AFTER: Casual lounge-wear vest to layer on cool mornings.
Perfect while sewing over Spring Break!

What a cute plaid, 10 projects in 10 days! Can't wait to see them.

This is the perfect in-between weight for some days, just enough to keep the core warm but not overly hot.
