I've used "extra canvas" before, sometimes when straightening a tilted photo or when just needing a little extra breathing room along an edge or two, but I never tried adding and removing something as done in this case. I'm not sure if the small size of the image made it easier or more difficult to do. Will have to try it on a larger image. Coincidentally, I'd been reading a chapter in Eismann's book in which she "tailored" a jacket to better fit the subject. I guess on at least one level i was ready to try doing something like this. Glad you posted the suggestion..
