Your new one looks good though and it was a clever idea to add the buttons and the loop to give you some coverage over the chest when it's chilly.

Do you have any fabric left? Maybe you could open up the seam of the sleeves and the side seam and add another strip of fabric? Bit fiddly, but wouldn't be so tight!Andrea Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961683744691350839noreply@blogger.com
