Refashion Runway Sew Along: Velvet

I'm so excited that Refashion Runway Season Four: All-Star Edition is just two days away! Like, seriously :)

I'm leaving for vacation on Saturday, so I wanted to post my sew along before then. Spoiler alert, if you haven't read the challenges for this season, it's velvet :)


I had been saving this Sparkly velvet dress for the holidays... but, hey, there's no harm in getting a head start, right?

I cut off the built-in vest, and used a Maxi Skirt as a template for size.


Then, using a trick from Beth's "Refashion Handbook" I made some cap sleeves out of the original ones.



I sewed them into my new dress Right Sides Together.






Be sure to tune in on Saturday and vote for your favorite Refashions. And, sew along too. It'll be fun!
