Here's a before and after of a reconstruction I finished this weekend. It's a sweater that I got at UO for $5 a s a gift for someone who thought it was too "swashbuckler." I figured I had nothing to lose so I cut it up and took it from a men's XL to a ladies' XS. I tried a new technique - serging the raw edges and seaming with a conventional machine.

The pictures are unimpressive but the finished result is much better.
