    Adding more to my comment below....We retired to a small town. When everyone asked me where I got my jean bags and I said I made them they wanted one. I now sell at tiny veggie market in spring and summer and a couple Christmas fairs. The men and teen boys said you make nothing for us. So with the area being a fishing hiking town and also seeing my larger jean purses didnt sell, just my small jean cross body bags. And knowing I saw man just wearing their fishing vests around town, because of the pockets, I started making vests from flannel shirts. The same day at our tiny thrift a large amount of flannels and skull tshirts showed up. So I took sleeves off shirts, left it raggedy at arn hole. Used sleeves to make outside patch poket and hidden inside buttoned cell phone pocket. Cut around the graphics on the tshirts. Some were small sizes so women bought them too. I started buying women's flannels or even a bit heavy weight shirts not flannel added more female type graphics like artistic graphics with peace signs and florals and Shakespeare play events, more girly ones. I can do free motion....write with my machine. I may try doing that but cutting a graphic off a tshirt is easier.

    I love it after bleaching! I used to square dance in my youth back iin 70s. I got so tired gathering the ruffles on the dresses we wore so I stated pinch pleating as you did. I love this era where more people are sewing and anything goes. Makes my old nerd hippie heart glad! Im 67 now but still sewing since age 5! Im a little OCD...maybe a lot. I would have split the sleeve ruffles in quarters each to make more matchy matchy on each side but after bleaching didnt seem to matter.
