Wifey adds pockets to everything.

I almost always recycle my jeans into shorts!

I also like to reinforce buttons (they always feel so loose on new clothes!).

Several old band T-shirts have had the sleeves cut off and made into tank tops. I like to make crop-top T-shirts out of old shirts, too! I used to skateboard, so several of the older ones have holes from where I fell, but I like the design too much to let them go completely.

I was joking with my friend the other day that I wanted to resurrect the crinoline lol. I'd love a huge radius of fabric between me and other people. A swishy, pretty force field, so to speak.

Damn, that's what my wardrobe is missing: battle armor.

If I find a top with a good material in the men's section, I take it in so it's more fitted around the waist and hips. I also patch up ripped stuff and darn socks. Once I tried to put a shoulder pen pocket on one of my flannels, but that was a mistake haha. I also have patches for most of my favorite bands sewn on a denim jacket, if that counts.

I picked up sewing during the pandemic and now I hardly ever buy new clothes; I just sew them. The exception is jeans; I haven’t been brave enough to try them yet.

Pockets must be extended to double size at least! I've also become significantly more active in the past five years so some waist alterations were needed.

This isn't an alteration, but my next project is to make a bucket hat!

I cap my sleeves because I love the look but it's hard to find in plus size stuff. I also take in the waist if I've bought something second hand that's slightly too big.

Wearing a pocket belt everywhere gets me so much respect for my physical space. Folks who would harass me assume I'm armed, dangerous and not worth the risk. Cool folks compliment my cool belt. My belt has normal purse stuff in it & it's perfect

I recently started doing slit weave mostly because I have a million band tshirts I never wear because I hate unisex tshirts.

I absolutely love the look and it’s easier than I thought it would be

All the time. I’m in this weird height range where tall length pants are too long and average length are just a bit too short, so I usually take the hem out of the bottom.

I also have a Yoshi image from a t-shirt that I bought like 20 years ago. When the shirt gets too worn, I sew Yoshi onto a new shirt I get from the craft store. I get SO MANY compliments on that shirt.

I've put the very occasional dart in something but thats about it.
