Verdens længste ærmer til brugbar habitjakke
Dette er nok det bedste genbrugskup indtil videre. En Odd Molly strikket habitjakke/cardigan (den har nok kostet omkring 2000 kr fra ny). Og den så ud som ny. Der var bare ét problem, noget som måske også er årsagen til at den endte i en genmbrugsbutik: Den havde sygt lange ærmer.
This is probably my best thrift shop find so far: An Odd Molly knitted suit jacket/cardigan (expensive brand). And it was as new. It just had one problem, which naybe also was why it ended up in a thrift shop: It had extremely long sleeves.

Altså, jeg har korte arme, men det her var vildt. Der var nok ærmer til at lave ærmedukker… De ærmer blev nødt til at blive kortere.
Now, I do have short arms, but this was crazy. Look, sleeve monkeys…. I had to shorten the sleeves.
Ærmekanten var rigtig fin, så jeg besluttede mig til at korte ærmerne af på den måde, som man også kan gøre med jeans, når man vil bevare den oprindelige søm.
Det vises nemmest på et billede. Man syr langs den røde streg, klipper det overskydende af og zigzagger/overlocker den rå kant.
Jeg håndsyede desuden den indvendige søm ned, så den lå helt pænt og fladt inde i ærmet.
The inside edge of the sleeves was very nice, so I decided to shorten the sleeves the way, you also commonly shorten jeans, if you want to keep the original hem,
It is easiest to show in a picture. You sew along the red line, cut of the excess and finish the raw edge.
I also hand sewed that inside seam to one side, to make it lie flat inside the sleeve.
Meget bedre. Og helt perfekt beklædningsstykke til foråret, hvor man ikke rigtig kan regne med vejret.
A lot better. And perfect transistionwear for our spring, when weather constantly changes and the temperatures fluctuates wildly.
