Day 9
had an exhausting day, cleaning up and
re-arranging stuffs in our newly-renovated office.
I'm only human. Lol. Justifications.}
Anyway, I will make it up by making 2 posts tonight.
First up, another DIY. Actually, it's not a DIY in every sense of the word.
I have clothes that I find too plain, not flattering, and simply boring.
What I do?
Edit. Modify. Enhance.
(Haha. This sounds like Adobe Photoshop.)
Re-work. Re-create. Alter.
(Sounds better.)
Remember the boyfriend-shirt that was 'donated' to me by my brother? No? Click
HERE.
They are still too big for me. Especially on the shoulder part.
I can't alter it to the length that it should be for sheer lack of sewing skills,
However, I thought of another innovative way.
(insert light-bulb-moment here. haha)
{drumroll please...}
Ta-da! GARTER!
Pictures are the best way to illustrate. So here you go:
 |
(1) Measure the shoulder length.
(2) However, do not use such measurement for the garter.
The garter must be a little shorter than your shoulder length.
Trust me, it will yield a better result.
(3) Pin one end of the garter just above the end of the collar line.
(4) Pin the other end of the garter a little over the edge of the
shoulder drop of the shirt. Again, trust me, you will like the results. |
 |
Then start sewing. You have to used the sewing machine.
Doing it by hand will take you 48 years. Lol. Stretch the garter as much as you can. |
Here's the finished product:
Last night, Color Me Badd and All-4-One had a concert at Waterfront Cebu.
It was raining very hard. I want to wear something that will keep me warm
and at the same time, comfortable.
So I decided to wear this "re-worked" boyfriend shirt.
