tai chi panda

my friends gave me a tshirt that has a bunch of pandas in various tai chi poses. the sleeves were a little too long and bunched up a little under my arms, so i altered the sleeves to be capsleeves. i matched the sleeves to another tshirt of mine that fit well. i thought that i could just sew under the arms to make the sleeves tighter, but i ended up having to cut off the sleeves and re-sew them onto the shirt because they were angled too high before. it’s probably not that noticeable a difference (besides the fact that they are shorter) but i’m happier with the fit, and the shirt/sleeves are more comfortable as a result (doesn’t pull across the shoulders or bunch up under my arms as much).

  • Nice work. I wish I could sew. As silly as it may sound, I can’t wrap my mind around how a sewing machine works. Lets not even talk about knitting (It’s insanity + 1).
