Sometimes I just can't let go and I find myself going back to "edit" garments that I had once considered finished. Do you do this too?
I don't mean that I re-do something immediately after the first try on, but that weeks later I go back and improve
(hopefully) a garment. Last weekend, it was my kimono. Not that there was anything
wrong with it, but I decided that it would fit better if it was narrower thru the base of the neck.
So, I undid the seam and crack stitching at the back of the neck, made a pleat and reassembled. I'm much happier with the fit through the shoulders and neck now.

In addition, I couldn't quite let go of the kimono fabrics. The
sleep bra fail still nagged at me. However, I know when a fail is a fail; I was unwilling to try to fix the bra. So, with very little fabric left post-bra, I decided on a sleep mask as a luxurious little companion piece for the kimono.
It's not my best make, but I love it! The silk back side feels
sooooo soft and lovely on my skin. I plan on taking this little bit of luxury with me on any future red eye flights.

So, am I the only one who continues to tinker with a project long after is "finished" or has a hard time "letting go" of a fabric? Or do you do this sort of thing too?
Next up, I have 2 projects with shiny metallic fabrics! Yay!
