The Refashion Plan

This time, I even drew out my idea.
My request was to turn two oversized floral shirts into a sleeveless top and a pair of shorts.
Since it was for Songkran, I wanted something light and easy to move around in.
Now the question was… would this be enough to get the idea across?
Finding Someone to Refashion It

This time, I really struggled to find someone to take the job.
The “Rama 4 Tailor” was already fully booked for the next month and wasn’t accepting any more orders.
I did manage to make an appointment with a new independent tailor, but on the day, she was late and then stopped responding, so I had no choice but to cancel.
Apparently, the previous customer had taken much longer than expected.
When I looked into it a bit more, I found that her reviews weren’t exactly great, so I decided not to give it another try. Sigh.
A Street-Corner Sewing Spot in Thonglor

I also tried visiting a place in Thonglor that showed up on Google Maps as a women’s tailor.
But she told me they couldn’t do refashioning.
Trying the Sewing Uncle

Even though I thought it might be difficult, I decided to try the famous sewing uncle anyway.
And to my surprise, he cheerfully said, “Yes, I can do it!”
He seemed to understand what I wanted — or at least, I really hope he did — and on top of that, it was so reasonable.
- Top:50 baht
- Bottom:80 baht
- Total:120 baht
It should have come to 130 baht, but when I handed him 140 baht, he gave me back 20 baht, so somehow the total became 120 baht.
