Peasant/Tunic after |
This over-sized ladies shirt is a good transition weight and color for our Texas fall.
|
Black buttons. Bias casing added. |
Steps:
- Keep tunic size/shape. Change neckline to peasant style.
- Cut neckline higher than most tutorials show.
- Add white bias strip casing cut from pillow case stash.
- Add elastic.
- Change to black buttons on front & cuffs.
- Wear with refashioned white linen pants.
- Casual/Professional outfit for College and School District visits.

Lunch napkin. |
Add-on: I like fabric napkins and hope they reduce my ecological footprint. Scrap napkins remind me of clothes I make/refashion.
Steps:
- Combine shirt/pillow-case scraps to make a casual
napkin for the kitchen napkins basket.
- Back with white scrap from neck binding, 7 " wide, serge.

The new neckline is much more flattering; the standard collar didn't mix well with the bold floral. Very nice refash, and great idea for napkins!
Great refashion!
I too love the idea of using up scraps to make mismatched napkins...and the neckline is infinitely better! So flattering on you :) Great work!
