Revamped shirts
As well as sewing new jim-jams, I have been revamping John's shirts. He was going to throw out because they were too baggy and long. I thought the materials were too nice. The lovely blue linen one on the right is Donna Karen. So I turned up the bottoms to make them straight, newer style of wearing outside trousers but still long enough to tuck in for work. I also worked out how to take off 2 1/2 inches off the chest and sleeve width from the one on the left. Now that I know this is possible I can revamp more of his shirts. Next experiment is to tailor one with some darts.
