I wasn't planning on doing a post today, but when I put on the thrifted dress and cardigan that I wanted to wear to work I noticed this.

| It's a little big... |
I knew this cardigan was an extra-large, but I thought I could wear it anyway and just have it a bit baggy. Problem was, it was way beyond "comfortably loose" and had ventured into "shapelessly over-sized."
It was a simple fix. I just lay it inside-out on the floor and pinned both sides a good 3cm or so. Then I ran it through my sewing machine, which handled the stretchy knit just fine.

| Taking it in. |
Then I snipped off the extra fabric from the sides.
 |
| Trimming. |
Then I put it back on and headed out the door to work!
 |
| Much better! |
Not bad for such an impromptu refashion! It'll keep me nice and cozy in the icebox that I work in.
