My shirt jacket:

adorable blouse! I think I will try your method as gathering the shoulder seam looks a bit funky.

Wow it looks great

you did a terrific job, ~hugs~

Just beautiful. Don't you love Good Will? So many things a person could do with recycling etc. Great find.

love it great job hugs

Most patterns I buy are to long waisted for me and do not seam to fit me.
So I took and old jacket no collar and maybe not lined one you think fits you nice, take it apart and use it for all your jackets you want to make it is very easy to change the neckline and the sleeves also maybe even the length add designs and even the front but kept the body of the jacket the same that way it will all ways fit. My secrect to a nice fitting jacket.

That looks great! I need to learn how to do this because I'm small as well. If you make a tutorial, please let me know! :-)

Love finding treasures for a fraction of the cost at the thrift stores. My family often laughs because it seems every time I go into Goodwill I find money or treasures forgotten in the pockets. Your alterations were fantastic. Being as small as you are you could alter most sizes down and finding those of your perfect choice of fabric and color was a perfect match for you. Great Job again, Pam

Love the design and colour of the fabric. Remade jacket looks lovely.

Sew well done. Looks great.

Great work with the remake of the shirt, looks terrific. Sandra.

I Think this turned out great and look stylish!

You did an excellent alteration for yourself. Love linen too but you're right about wrinkling. This is pretty for the summer.
