My first Altered Swing Coat

I've been itching to try altering clothes. My girlfriend gave me this sweet, longish blouse. So today I added a panel at the bottom, some trim on the collar and cuffs, then braided the trim fabric with some yarns and beads and offset that with one of my primitive faces. I like the results. Even wore it to the Business Association dinner tonight!
Now, I'm looking at what I can cut into next!

    That altered garment really turned out well Chris. It should inspire you to try another!
    Well done!

    Isn't it fun when something you envision in your mind turns out better than you had even planned. Great job!
