I have been giving my wardrobe a little bit of a tidy up as we enter
the cooler months. Deciding on what to put away, what to donate and
refashion. First refashion on my list was this top.
An
old top that was starting to fray. I have always loved the colour and
pattern, but was not so happy about the short sleeves and the fraying on
the neckline that could not be saved without an over locker. So I took
to it with the scissors. Basically cut it off from below the sleeves
in one straight cut:
Once
cut, I pinned a hem all the way around. Sewing this proved a little
tricky as I have never worked with such sheer,delicate (read: very
slippery) fabric so I had to do a little bit of research on the best
way to sew a hem. Lucky for me I remembered that back in February, the
the very clever
Jenn from mytwobutterflies had kindly
put up this technique
for a refashion she had completed using similar fabric. So I got to
working on it and now.....here is my completed sheer infinity scarf!
I am pleased with the result and happy that I was able to save the fabric. Now I have a little sheer scarf for all seasons....
