Big shirt? No problem here.

Okay, my friend likes to give me clothes that she no longer wants. I enjoy this because..well...I get free clothes. Anyways, she gave me a shirt that was too big. So I decided it would  be a good opportunity to see if I really can figure out how to alter a shirt to fit me.

In the past I've been scared to do it because:
a. I'm afraid I won't measure correctly and end up with a ruined shirt
b. you have to take the whole thing apart, including the arm holes and sew it back together
c. I didn't know how to sew shoulder seams

Well I conquered those fears!

This is what the shirt looked like on me before:

I then seam-ripped the sides completely open and removed the sleeves. Then measured, cut, and sewed it all back together. Here's what I ended up with!

I'd like to think it fits MUCH better!

Here's the picture Phil took of me while I was bragging about my accomplishment.

Next I might attempt some pants. We'll see.
