- Clothes can 1 be

given new

WHEN YOU look into a full
closet but can’t find a thing to
wear, perhaps it is time to think
about remodelling.

Sew right: .
By Kian Samet

It’s not difficult to give new life

“to outdated clothes that may not .

have been worn for some time. .

....» Giving an old outfit a new lock
~ does not mean that. you need: to
"remake the garment from beginning

to end. Sometimes simple changes .

- can do wonders.

Replacing ‘an old set of buttons,
removing a collar that is no longer
-in style, or topstitching the existing
“collar, cuff and pockets is often
enough. .

For more ambitious remodelling
: projects, start by analyzing the cur-
. rent trends...

"Study the new ‘lines, latest col-

ors, details, trims and combinations .
of fabrics for creative ideas that you.

can use in remodelling.

‘Adding a contrasting collar, such”

“as a white collar on a black dress or
" suit, will dress up your garment and
‘produce a very chic effect.

look —

A favorite outfit can be “jazzed
up” by adding a flamboyant touch:
thinestones,. gold trim, metallic
material or a lace insert.

Open the bottom six inches of
the side seams to turn a top or over-
sized T-shirt into a tunic.

A dress or blouse can be updated
by adding a ruffle to the neckline
and cuffs.

Don't feel restricted to working

_ with the entire garment — you can

salvage any part of the outfit that
you stil! like.

Some styles of dress can be
shortened to become a blouse, or
dismantled to create a new skirt.
from the bottom half. Or add a
bodice to an out-of-fashion skirt for
anew dress.

I find that when 1 temake a
favorite outfit, I love it just as much
— if not more. Recycle your gar-
ments that are too good to throw
away and you will love the results
too.
