REFLECTIONS: This is #8 of 10 for my Spring Break goal.
- Continuing a favorite children’s book, "If you
give a Mouse a cookie, then he will want a glass of milk. And then, he will
want a straw."
- One day, I Re-fashioned a black cardigan. Then I adjusted a black/white
t-shirt to wear under it. And today, I finished a short sleeve jacket to wear
with the t-shirt in warmer weather.
BEFORE: Black Jacket from the closet.
- Cuff opening in ¾ length sleeve limited arm movement. My elbow poked out the cuff opening.
- Elastic stitched into waist area pulled the jacket askew.
STEPS:
- Carefully unstitch elastic.
- Carefully seam rip the cuff off.
- Serge the sleeve edge, turn and hem.
AFTER: Black short sleeve jacket for Spring transition wear.

Wow RanchHouse, you are really getting things done. I love this jacket. I can see how the cuffs and waist could be restrictive but it is still so cute with them removed/changed. I hope spring comes soon so you can wear this asap.

Great work! I would say now it just needs a vest but you already have that cool one you refashioned from the Coldwater Creek jacket. The floral and stripes would go nicely!
