For Patsy you will need:
sleevless/vests
bootlace or other strong cord thats long enough to go round your waist
drawstring toggle
scissors
large safety pin
1. find the hem and snip open the side seam (about 1cm) to open this channel
2. thread your shoelace/cord onto a safety pin (this will make threading through the hem much easier)
3. feed safety pin & lace through the hole you have just cut in the hem
4. feed all the way through so the lace runs through the whole length of the hem
5. thread the drawstring toggle to help secure the ends (you can knot the ends for extra security)
6. pull tight gathering up the hem
