a simple western shirt re-do


i really, really like western shirts so i bought quite a few when blue velvet had their everything $1 sale. this was orginally a large or extra large long sleeve, so all i had to do was resize and create fluttery cap sleeves. making bias binding for the arm holes was the worst part. i hate ironing! i will hire a minimum wage worker to press my clothes and make bias binding one of these days.

modeled shots to come!

old clothing revitalization pt 1

helping your boyfriend move to college is not bad at all, especially when they give you a large bag of old clothing. i have a lot of resizing to do for him, but i also have lots of material to make things for myself! this shirt started out as a polo and a grey shirt with a reasonably hideous 'las vegas' logo on it. (both a men's medium) after late-night inspiration, a few mild idiotic mistakes, (yes, i admittedly sew sleeves on backwards on occasion.), my first attempt at a hood and increased mastery of my serger, we have this. thanks for looking.
