Hot chocolate, gloves, hats, sweaters, falling leaves, and flannel. I love a flannel shirt! The problem for me is that the hips/belly are always too snug, or just flat out will not button. Refashioning with the Paganoonoo method is the solution.
If you have avoided garment sewing because of fitting issues or complicated bits like collars, plackets, and buttonholes then this is the design for you.
If you would like a bit more room in the hip and belly in your shirts then this is the design for you.
If you would like to try upcycle sewing / refashioning but are not sure how to get started, then this is the design for you.
The sewing instructions are illustrated step-by-step and show you how to cut apart and sew back together the garments you start with (deconstruct & reconstruct.)
You get professional looking results without having to: set a sleeve, sew a cuff, create a placket, make buttonholes, sew on buttons, make or attach a collar — those things are already done for you!
The panel in the lower back can be made with another garment such as a shirt, t-shirt, sweater, skirt, or it can be made with stash fabric - any suitable weight
 |
| This red and purple version used stash quilting cotton for the back panel. |
 |
This version was made with a t-shirt back.  |
| The grey back on this Patti was made using a merino wool sweater turned upside down. The sweater's bottom band now serves as a waistband. Refashioning is eco-friendly, easy on the budget, and simpler sewing. |
