It's done, and I've been using it for some time. The pouch didn't explode, which was nice. Maybe I'll change the cutlery to something lighter, for easier to carry around. 🪡 🧵

I’m on the way to fix/alter everything that doesn’t fit me right. lol
This old Uniqlo pocketable windbreaker lost elasticity of the cuff binding long time ago, and the too-long sleeves have been annoying me to no end. Fixed! 😁✌️

What a great hand stitched neckline technique for jersey t-shirts!
The other one shared in the comments is also very interesting.
Thanks @gwenbeads for sharing it in details!

I found a new way to bind an edge on cotton jersey with hand stitching. The challenge is to find something that is easy to do, won’t stretch over time, and won’t curl. I think this one passes.
This binding is not fast to do because it takes several passes of pinning and sewing, but none of them are particularly challenging to do. It finishes at 3/4” (19mm), so it doesn’t look too dainty for a man’s shirt. I’m repeating it on all the hems of the shirt I’m currently sewing.
1. Fold hem to outside 7/16”. Pin. Baste.
2. Cut strip of jersey 1.25” wide, crosswise. Stretch to curl.
3. Pin strip down its center, centered over fold.
4. Whipstitch center (black thread).
5. Uncurl bottom edge and whipstitch (brown thread). -

“Use it up, wear it out. Make it do or do without.” They don’t make thrift store jeans like they used to! #mending #handsewing

After several years of contemplating, I’ve finally altered my Patagonia jacket’s sleeves (which were too long and annoying) to fit me perfectly. The hardest part was undoing and removing the binding tape cloth from the sleeves. Now I will love wearing this well-loved jacket even more!
