Red steampunk sweater coat from Love Flow Creations




Hello again everybody.  This outfit started out as a size small red turtle neck.  No, I'm not a size small, as if!! LOL  but for some odd reason this top fits me. :-)

  I cut the sweater down the center front and serged the edges.  I rummaged around in my storage room.  I'll have to show you a picture of what that looks like.  You be afraid, very afraid. LOL  I found this fabric remnant that coordinates perfectly.

 When I went to cut it in two pieces I found that the one side was already curved on the sides.  So I went with it and used it for the main skirt piece.  I added a shorter second piece to make a peplum.  But it wasn't steampunk enough.  So I dug through my lace box and found this vintage lace I bought of of Ebay awhile back.

 To complete the look I matched it with a red and black top my friend Katie gave me.  A skirt I purchased at the pirate festival last summer that I attend with a group of my peeps.  I cinched it up with a great leather belt I picked up at a thrift store somewhere.  I would wear this outfit with my read leather boots.  Yes, I have red leather boots.  I just love boots and have a very nice collection indeed.  This sweater coat has been posted in my Love Flow Creations Etsy store.  Happy refashioning everyone.

What a great red outfit. I love the "new" sweater coat. Red boots sound good to me. :)
