Look! I altered a shirt! All by myself!
It was originally a men's shirt and thus long, baggy, and unflattering. It could do with being a bit more fitted (and overal better sewed :)) around the waist and sleeves but I'm still pretty proud of mysel. Apart from bringing a pillowcases seams in a bit, the last (and first)successful thing I sewed was a small bag in 1994.
Also this is probably the first time since puberty that I've owned a t-shirt which fit over my hips without bunching, being both short and distinctly pear-shaped means that everything is either too tight and/or assumes I have (relatively) wide shoulders and a long torso. *looks forward to having my clothes actually fit, albeit in a haphazard, badly sewed sort of way*
I based it on this rather vague tutorial, I may look around for a better one since the sleeves need to be done better so as to not go all bunchy. And of course mad props go to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
