Hello everyone!
It's Magda from House of Estrela again.
I don't often sew for myself, that's a fact. Since I had kids I focus on sewing for them.
I want to change that, I really do. So, last month I jumped in at the chance of turning a XXL dress I bought just because I liked the fabric, and tossed it right away into my refashion pile, into a new top for myself.
You can read all the details about in in my blog, HERE if you're interested.
BEFORE & AFTER
I wear it all the time, it's comfortable and the subtle golden in it, allows me to dress it up a bit if needed.
Aren't you so happy when you find XXL clothes to refashion too?

;-) :-D - due to great result: to be continued!
And yes I love big-sized woman when they part from 'their no longer fond of clothes'.
Sometimes I pick around items and marvel in big admiration about the effort which was put into some garments to
- NOT just look like a bag/sack on a 'more solid built woman'
- admire some support features in them
- sometimes even hesitate to 'kill'/waste the garment for somebody basically none-worthy of them (= me!), whilst there are soooo many solid built woman with obviously bigggggest troubles to even find something matching and good looking for their size (= and boy, they appeal to me more than a well dressed 'bean stalk' - sorry to say so, despite an 'in between' myself!)
That top is a fabulous colour. And the original looks like a great find....so much fabric in an XXL like that.
