The Finished Piece

This final piece was made from a black fabric scrap I bought for just 20 baht.

I asked my little local tailor to copy a sleeveless top I already owned.

Since the fabric only cost 20 baht, there obviously wasn’t much of it, so the finished top ended up a little shorter than the original.

The neckline was also apparently a little tricky to finish, so the tailoring cost came to around 600 baht.

Uh-Oh… This One Didn’t Work

Even though they copied the same shape and simply made it shorter, once I actually put it on, it somehow didn’t fall the same way as the original.

It also felt slightly uncomfortable to wear.

The original white top works perfectly well on its own, but this black version feels more like something I could only wear as an inner layer — or maybe to the gym.

A little disappointing.

The Final Result of the Fabric Scrap Trilogy

So, after all three pieces, here’s the final score:

  • Mint: Success
  • Black: Fail
  • Beige: So-so
    Which means…

One win, one loss, and one draw.

The pink fabric never made it to the tailoring stage because of the faded lines, so I suppose that one was a walkover loss. Haha.

Still, one of the best things about fabric scraps is that they let you experiment with new fabrics very cheaply.

And at least I confirmed that yes, you absolutely can make clothes from fabric scraps.

Actually, now that I think about it, these scraps probably would have been plenty for children’s clothes.

Why didn’t I think of that earlier? Haha.

Next Journey: What Can I Add to the Fabric?

Okay, I think I’ve had enough fabric scraps for now.

Next time, I’m going back to using a proper amount of fabric.

But this time, I wanted to add something extra to the fabric…
