'reWorking the Workwear': #1 Chambray Dress

Hello hello! I'm Nay and I blog over at The Wardrobe Surgeon, a mostly refashioning blog with a little DIY pattern drafting on the side. This my first post here at Refashion Co-Op, very timely too as I've just began my first refashion series 'reWorking the Workwear' where I'm attempting to re-purpose all of my old work clothes into garments that I can wear, rather than having them wear an accumulating layer of dust!

So this week I started with two chambray shirts; one reasonably fitted and one jumbo sized-maternity shirt. After a bit of chopping/ironing/pinning/sewing/dying I ended up with a dress! It was supposed to be a summer dress, but it proved to be very versatile when the day I wanted to wear it happened to be a cold and rainy 17°C day!

I'm a mother and I repeat myself enough times when talking to my children, so I'm not all that keen to do it here too! If you'd like more details and photos please head on over to my original post. I can't wait to share more projects with you all very very soon!
