making something smaller...
The Cow Goddess scribbled on a scrap of paper:
hello everyone!!! happy new year!!! long time no see!!! i lost my job - yes, another one - in November, and shockingly enough, haven't been doing that much sewing. however, for xmas i made my nephew two fleece shirts, one a slightly fitted v-neck, the other a MUCH larger hooded shirt, both to be worn when he goes snowboarding. my sister told me to make an extra-large of the outside shirt, but when he tried it on, she felt it was too big. he doesn't think so, baggy is the thing when snowboarding apparently. anyway, it's a two-tone shirt and i am wondering if i have to take in the sleeve seams too, or should i just put a drawstring on the hem instead? that would leave the bagginess that my nephew loves, but might satisfy my sister who's worried that the bagginess could be a danger if he falls. thoughts? two thoughts... one, go with the drawsting. Two, the safety concern for "baggy" seems silly to me ( read on) Other than filling up with snow, what does she think is dangerous about a baggy shirt? This question is from the POV of someone ( me) with a 10+ year affiliation with the National Ski Patrol. Personally I think the danger of baggy is a silly thing, just make sure there are no strings hanging off. More importantly, if Mom is worried about his safety, these points are most important: 1. wear a helmet 2 know the snow riders/skier's responsiblity code 3 take lessons for safety, skill and knowing mountain safety and ettiquette 4 as a snowboarder, he needs to know how to compensate for his blind side. 5 most common injuries for boarders are fractured wrist, fractured clavicle and concussion, none of these relate to how baggy your clothes are.
