I find it really hard to get myself to go back and fix previous makes, even though I know I'm more likely to wear the item if I invest just a little bit of time tweaking them.
I have mentally done with brown now I've noticed as I just cut out a
simple plain ivory tee. However I need to do some rework on a few items
before I change the brown thread and I have reworking stuff sort of
boring.
However maybe if I post it here it will encourage me to do something?
So brown tie dye cardigan - shoulder is too wide and the sleeves are a
strange 3/4 length hybrid. Task - remove sleeves, narrow shoulders
slightly, cut new sleeves in a classic full length and insert them
instead.
And the lace sweatshirt has a wobbly topstitched neckline that probably needs a skinny neckband adding to draw it up.
This one shows on the garment, but not when worn, maybe I need to wear it and wash it to see if it is still a problem later.
I'll go and cut a sleeve for the cardigan and see how that goes.
I altered the cardigan, and will wear and wash the top to see how that goes.

Good for you! I need to do a bit of hand stitching on a cardigan to make the facings more secure, and I'm not happy with the sleeve hems. I should definitely follow your lead. Yes, I find going back to fix something ~very~ hard as well.
