This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw Badge in Textiles.

For this BB, you will take in a shirt (or a dress) to make it smaller.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- take a shirt or dress that is too large and make it smaller

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or a video (less than two minutes):
 - your oversized shirt or dress before resizing
 - the tools and materials you will use for the alteration
 - altering the garment (in progress)
 - your item of clothing with the finished alteration on a body

Quick question... does this PEP task also include hemming shirts so they're shorter? My hubbie has a few work shirts that are too long.

Thanks, Y'all!

I think hemming is a different badge.

Ok thanks. I have blouses I need to take in, but hubbies work shirt needs to get done sooner. :-)

Thanks, Y'all!

Does "shirt" imply it must have sleeves? My friend gave me a lovely cotton sleeveless tunic with buttons down the front, but two of me would fit inside. I was thinking the other day that it would be nice to have this summer, and getting a BB for figuring out how I'll manage to fix it would be a motivating bonus!

I feel the goal of this is to take a top (as opposed to bottoms - shorts, pants, trousers, slacks, skirt) and make it smaller widthwise.

I could see a sleeveless tunic fitting into this.
