Really, Marc Jacobs said it best, there is NEVER a wrong time for a polka dot! Take this big thrift store skirt. I was attracted to the brown and ivory polka dots, but even better that they slowly get bigger towards the bottom. So interesting.
I originally thought I would just alter this to fit me, but......
when I unpicked the waistband seam and laid it out on the floor to take a photograph, it just looked like a shirt to me. That's when I decided to make a shirt instead of a skirt.
With a few snips and a few new seams the skirt had changed to this fun off the shoulder shirt.
You can see the entire tutorial here at The Renegade Seamstress.
Happy sewing!

This is great! I wish I had the skill to envision and carry that out.
That is so clever! I love it. Polka dots are my favourite pattern. :-) x
Beautiful Polka dot top. Very clever of you. Can't quite figure out how it works through.
