F for Fashion reconstruction #7

I often wondered why some clothes are made with linings, even though these clothes are not see-through and especially for clothes that are sold in tropical climates.


And most often, these linings are made from non-absorbent materials that make you sweaty and uncomfortable only after a few minutes of wearing them.


Why can't they (whoever that makes these clothes) put some thoughts into their design or manufacturing process before selling them instead of thinking of $$$ all the time.


Perhaps because they themselves don't wear the clothes they make, so they don't care about how the wearer might feel?


Anyway, enough of the banter already and let's get back to my next reconstruction project.


Talking about linings, my masterful sister gave me an idea of how she converted an unused skirt of mine into a shrug. So, following up on that idea, I decided that I could also convert my pants' linings into a shrug instead of throwing them because I am not one who wastes anything useful.

Since this is a simple and straightforward project, my sister and I completed this shrug in just a couple of hours and it took me another couple of days to complete the embellishments.

This shrug is simple yet versatile because whenever the need arises, I could easily turn my sleeveless gowns into long-sleeved gowns instantly or wear it as a scarf.
