Now this is some inspiration. Love the front pocket shirt, I've hemmed a lot of shirts but would never have thought of that, really cool

Love the jumpsuit being made as separates! For the suit though, if the jacket has shoulder pads, can you just take them out?

Some really lovely & creative fits! And as someone learning to cut up and sew to modify some old clothes lately, enjoyed you taking us through the process of your modifications.

Yes, you can take out shoulder pads. Depending on the construction of the suit it might have unintended consequences to the shoulder fit, though.

Here's a $40 vintage sport coat I got off eBay that had excessive padding relative to my natural shoulder, leading to some divots

Here's after I took the shoulder pads out - much better shoulder situation

Yeah I have to take out the pads on the grey suit jacket still but I’d rather leave that to a tailor in this case because they’re sewn onto the shoulder seam Thanks everyone, hopefully people get something out of it

This is incredible stuff. I'd admired shots of you in those suit pants before, wouldn't have guessed the origin for the life of me.
