Coming to Taiwan meant giving up most of my wardrobe. Now that we’ve been here four months I’m getting tired of the few clothes I brought with me. A recent trip to a night market landed me some comfortable tshirts. They’re soft but are cut for a man and have stifling tight collars. Time for my first sewing modification project! Thankfully, my friend Kim let me use her machine as I’m currently without one. (In other news, if any of my Taiwan friends know of a second hand sewing machine for sale let me know!)
First I cut off the elastic collar and made a more open neckline.
Then it was time to take in the waist. I took in an inch on each side and then flared out the seams toward the bottom.
So much better! Two more shirts to tackle.
This beautiful leaf skeleton was lying nearby. I think it looks like lace.
