With the season changing here in Alaska, I found myself in need of a serious wardrobe revamp. Believe me, I have plenty of ugly ducklings in my closet patiently awaiting their transformation into something beautiful and wearable. I started out with something very simple this year. Remember those long sweater jackets that people started wearing around the time the Matrix came out? Well, I had one hiding behind my other outerwear in my closet, and decided I would like to wear it again. But I couldn't very well wear it in its' original form.. I had to do something, and fast. Applique? Nah. New buttons? Nope. Something simple. Nothing requiring a rocket scientist or even a super talented seamstress. I simply altered the length. I cut it off to where I wanted the hem to sit, and re-hemmed it using a super wide zig zag stitch. I wish I had taken a picture of the before, but oh well. This will have to do. Don't mind the strings in the front, I hadn't trimmed them off yet.
So yeah, as I say in the title of this one.. easy as pie. Nothing spectacular, but definitely something wearable. I just love the hood. A girl can't have too many shrugs. And no, the magenta tank underneath is in no way attached. I just had to cover up my home made dress form. Haha.
