#refashioning

Oh!! That sounds like a great project. I know you don't work this way, but I can probably whip up a couple diagrams of where/how to add panels to resize a garment if you're interested. (You would also have to do the sleeves if you add panels to the sides, fyi)

I have resized one denim jacket just with side panels (and triangular insets to increase the sleeves to the elbow, yeah-- both for my proportional-human arms and also because yeah the sleevehead doesn’t fit otherwise) and then I added an additional box-pleated segment to the back under the collar to make it not tight, but that was a loose, hip-length jacket and I handsewed most of it because my fucking serger was such a bitch the whole time. 

My Sealife jacket set is made from a gifted denim jacket, and a thrifted Pendleton Woolen Mills shirt.

The jacket was a men's size medium and didn't button over my hips. I removed the waist band & collar, and cut slits in the sides. Adding scrap indigo denim from another project to the sides gave me room. I also made a short standing collar with the same fabric. The octopus patch was embroidered on a piece from the original collar & paired with a piece from the shirt. A hanging loop was added to the new collar made from a piece of the old collar fabric

The shirt was discounted at Goodwill to $6 because it had holes in the sleeves and a ripped placket which I mended with patches made from the breast pocket. Embroidered sea stars add to the patches strength and over the place where the pocket formerly resided.

The Motivated Artist Life 

  For the betterment of ourselves and our loves ones we inevitably have to change.

Change is hard when it is necessary.

When we realize our old ways won’t get us to where we need to go.

Change is powerful when applied correctly.

I am a work in progress.

Constantly evolving into the better me.

Fighting the tides of my old ways.

Pushing forward to new forms of life.
