My first refashion and a new project

Ok refashion may be overdoing it slightly as all I've really done is chop off the sleeves but it's a big improvement.


Shapeless and sack-like

Even though this shirt is 2 sizes smaller than I would normally wear, it still felt too baggy and the sleeves had annoying fiddly cuffs that wouldn't stay fastened. I decided to cut the sleeves shorter to get rid of the cuffs but weirdly it's also given the shirt a better shape:

Much better!

I've also chosen my first "from a pattern" clothing project, Simplicity 7141. Its a high waisted skirt with big pockets and a hidden zip. I've got my material and supplies ready so I can get started today! I'm praying that everything goes to plan and I dont have any disasters or at least no serious ones. Fingers crossed!

I'm making the skirt on the far left, it hasnt got braces and is slightly shorter
