I've started to experiment with combining knits and wovens. This is my most one elaborate to date, definitely influenced by Magnolia Pearl. It was really a pleasure to add and subtract bits until it was "just right".
I started with a tunic length sleeveless T. The heart bits in the middle front are original as are the neck & armhole ruffles. The pockets are from a t-shirt with heavy gold printing.The ruffled lower back was a skirt. On the upper right side I added a vintage doily. At the waist many bits and pieces.

Thank you to Diane Ericson for the "Bits and Pieces" concept at a Design Outside the Lines workshop.
More to come!
Happy Upcycling,
