Before and After…

Before: 1 REM t-shirt, size XL. This is what happens when you’re at the back of the merchandise queue.
After: 1 REM t-shirt, much smaller. This is what happens when you have a sister with a sewing machine. ;)

My sister bought this t-shirt when she went to see REM at the Milton Keynes Bowl, approximately one [...]

Front & Back: Before

Back in the Shed…

On Sunday I switched to part-time hours at Waterstones, so today was my first day of being able to get back in the shed and do some sewing!
This dress is one which I started at the beginning of December. I added the skirt this afternoon, and finished off the edges. I’m not best pleased with [...]

The Problem:
What to do with a superfluous 4XL men’s t-shirt, which was left over from a regular customer who’s long since dieted out of it…
The Solution:

(Click for larger)
It doesn’t do that funny wrinkly thing above the bust when there are actual arms inside it. Honest.
It sits about four to five inches above my knees, which [...]
