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?

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.

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.

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.

How will it turn out?
