At first glance this peach button down doesn’t seem so bad…You’re
not looking hard enough. First off all, I have no idea what is going on with
this double collar, which has some sort of floral patterned embroidery, reminiscent
of a cheap oriental design. Add shoulder pads to that and it just isn’t cutting
it. But I think the ugliest thing about this shirt is actually the thing that
makes it an easy fix, the double collar.
First, I cut off the ugly and unnecessary double collar,
only leaving enough to double over the edge.
Next, I doubled over the edge and pinned down
I then finished the pinned down edge by sewing it.
As much as I yearn to look like a line backer, the shoulder
pads had to go. Snip, Snip!
It’s not a crazy difference, but that is what I liked about
this project. It wasn’t difficult, but it made the shirt wearable again. I’ll
find a 70 year old to give the leftover embroidered collar to… no just kidding;
it should really just be burned.
