I had my first experience of acupuncture this morning, which was quite exciting!
I didn’t feel up to doing anything complicated this afternoon, so I decided to reconstruct a t-shirt.
Details: Side ruching and gathered sleeves
As per usual, I did this in the most complicated way humanly possible. Rather than simply stitching up the sides of the t-shirt to make it smaller, I cut the sleeves off, separated the front and back, made a pattern and effectively started from scratch.
The last thing I need to do is buy some green sequins, and sew them over a couple of tiny holes in the fabric. This is going to be a problem with using recycled t-shirts – the fabric only has a finite lifespan, and sometimes there are going to be little holes. Still, a little piece of interfacing and a few sequins should fix that nicely.
I’m really pleased with how it’s come out.
