RE: Using fabric from old clothes / 古い洋服の生地を使って縫う
First, I love all your handmade garments, especially the flower sweater and your linen dress (and a big hurray if you are content with the fit now). Second, the idea to reuse fabric is a great one. I also try to do it (and will post about it sometimes... I made super cropped jackets from old skirts) But for me many patterns to change/upcycle used clothes e.g. men’s shirt into a woman’s dress or blouse, fail because neither do I have a child nor am I smaller than my husband. The amount of fabric I need for an adult garment is too big.
I guess I must think a bit more about this topic to find a solution.
Thank you for the inspiration <3
In the show shanibeer mentioned The Great Sewing Bee, people use variety of fabric pieces to make clothes :) Some of them are really cool/ We can think out of box and make one out of two ...
(Talking about family body size, I'm less taller than my partner but I'm not slimmer than him 😭So remodeling his clothes isn't possible for mine ... only for my daughter's ... )
Noooooo we need second husbands/partners... which are big and bulky and are only good for giving us clothes to remodel 🤣 On a second thought... this constellation could be a bit exhausting, as they probably need care and food.
I have never seen the Sewing Bee, but have heard of this show (and the books and patterns) I definitely have to watch it in the near future. Using several pieces to make one is a very good idea (my friend Silvi made a Jeans blouse out of several of her old trousers) but I am still to intimidated by their sewing process, improvisation is beyond me :-D
Second big husbands/partners for fabric ... or they can buy two same pants (for us) 😂
I started watching sewing bee and knitting my socks after I finished my work for this yesterday ...It's in away dangerous, I'm not sure I can stop watching the show!
