AI6YR BenWore out a T-shirt (threadbare!), so picked up a bargain $2 replacement at the thrift store. Custom tailored it today. Before photo. #sewing
Using a T-shirt which I really like the fit, figured out where I needed to take in the edges and bottom. They are labeled as the same size (Large)!! #sewing
Marked the edges with chalk. Note:I probably should have ironed them both first, I had to rip and readadjust the seams because these markings were slightly too tight. #sewing
jj the Santa Barbarian@ai6yr often in production, the calibrations of the machines slip as the day goes on. The larger version of the shirt could have been made late in the day.
@cookiesinheaven Yeah, I got the story, too, that sometimes labels just get stuck on whatever got produced, and if there's not good Q/C they could pretty much any size!!
@ai6yr and then there are labels that run smaller or larger. 🤷♂️
Laukidh@cookiesinheaven @ai6yr or they cut a stack of fabric, iirc some layers can end up a bit off
I *think* I learned that when Planet Money made a shirt.
