St Patrick's Day Tunic

This linen blend tunic, which I picked up at a clothes swap last year, was perfect for St Patrick's Day, even if it wasn't really perfect.

I chopped the extra length off the sleeves. Then I took in the sides and sleeves to fit better. And finally, I gave the sleeves a new hem that would mirror the binding around the neckline. That's it! Just a few tweaks and I've got a brand new top!

    Fun to see how the small changes make such a big change overall. Looks like a good shade of green to carry into spring.

    What a perfectly imperfect garment to work with for St. Patrick's day!

    I have so many tops that look like your before photo on me. Some are from before I lost weight; some from buying more at the same size because my body image hadn't changed in my mind. Thanks for showing me the solution.
