Hello everyone! Today I'm taking a kirtle I made in 2015 and remaking the sleeves so that I can wear it again!

I'm also sharing my Costume Renewal Challenge with the sewing world at large! It's for everyone, costumers, cosplayers, and everyday sewing, and for every form of social media as well, not just YouTube. Basically, go into your costume closet, find that one thing you really like but doesn't quite fit anymore for whatever reason, be it weight changes, mistakes in patterning or sewing, or anything else, and fix or alter it so you can wear it again. The redone costume should still be recognizably the old one, so taking one thing apart and making something completely different for it doesn't count. If you do make a video for this, send me the link over on Instagram and I'll add you to the playlist!
