It's fantastic Rachel. I'm thinking as a sewing enthusiast myself, how you might reduce the large collar/neck opening? This would take your design up a notch. Great work! A small booklet on how to do this refashion might sell well for you. I look forward to your upcoming videos.

[@RefashioningWithRachel]

Thank you so much for the advice and the words of encouragement! I like the idea of a booklet.

I like to just open the collar wider for a more relaxed look and re_iron it. I also seam rip the buttons and put them back down an inch or so closer to the shoulder seams. That's my easy solution at least

[@RefashioningWithRachel]

I like that idea.

6-29-24 To Rachel would you do a video on how to add darts to a garment? I was hard to see what you did with that fabric choice.

[@RefashioningWithRachel]

Yes, I will. That part is hard to explain because it just depends on a person's individual body. But I agree that I should do a better job explaining that step.
