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!
ReplyDeleteGreat refashion!
ReplyDeleteI too love the idea of using up scraps to make mismatched napkins...and the neckline is infinitely better! So flattering on you :) Great work!
