"Yes, but..." Anna's garment make-over workshop

We had an excursion to WINS thrift store. Our assignment was to find a garment we liked except for something that needed to change. With Anna's coaching we each made the change to create a usable garment.

Lesley's cheery orange linen
jacket was several sizes too big.

The newly tailored
version fits just right.

The tunic Louisa found
was her colour and length.

She narrowed the shoulders
 and created cap sleeves to
make a dressy summer top.

Mary liked the fabric
and cut of a floral top.

She adjusted the fit of the
 armholes and re-cut the
peplum for a sleeker line.

Kathy found a flattering top.

With some tucks, gathers
and a bit of blue bias
binding it fits just the way she likes.

Ruth found well-fitting
trousers the right length.

She replaced the missing
button and changed the
legs from flaired to straight.

Anna found a beaded jumpsuit.

She removed the top
and adjusted the size
to make usable shorts.
