The Haute Project
Yeah, this last picture obviously shows that the hidden peplum was a creative risk gone wrong. So I took it out and left it alone.
I found this shirt in the mens section for a $1. I've been noticing lots of textures in magazines so I decided to see what I could make from this. Considering its an XL, there was enough fabric to make a skirt or a shirt. And there is still lots of fabric left, since I used the sleeves to make the..umm..torso part--jeez, I get so technical by using sewing jargon, I hope I didn't lose any of you.
All I did was take out the buttons, cut the shirt in half, sew up the front, take in the sides,take off the sleeves and use them for the..torso part and sew up the raw edges and I be done!
Here's the piece I have left. I might add a black waist band and make a skirt. Let's see how hoochie it turns out. Or I could still make a peplum like the trend above.

yeah, I know what you mean. I have a man's shirt that I love the pattern on... it is a bit dark though, I want to cheer it up a bit by screening some pink or yellow abstract. But I have a feeling that I am not going to like the feel of the shirt when I wear it.
Maybe I will still do it and then give it to someone with less preference for natural fibres.

Does it button up the back, or did you put in a zipper?
I like the texture, but am sorry you didn't like the way it felt. Nothing ventured, nothing gained though, and I think it looked great too. Looking forward to more on your project. -Seeks, EOD
