I grab scissors, ruler, pencil, needle and thread. Began to cut into the back of the line follows the existing then the line of buttons, wrist and pocket. Now wrist part become collar, the line studs / buttons become accessories at the center, the line of buttonholes ( cut into 2 pieces ) become bond on the right and left side and pocket on the left chest. How is it now......???? check it out....
