This is #31 for my self-challenge PROJECT: “Back to Elementary School Wardrobe”
Goal #1: 10 Re-fashions each month beginning August when I
returned to teaching.
Goal #2: Shop from the closet. No new / used clothing for this school
year.
Goal #3: Shop from the sewing stash for Re-fashion materials.
This is #2 cami refashion. My new school is very cold. Teachers cannot adjust room thermostats.
I need a weeks’
worth of camis to wear under sweaters to hold core body heat.
BEFORE: Black lace stretch t-shirt and a 2nd stretch t- from the re-fashion
stash.
PROBLEM: This lace t- was too small.
STEPS: Pull the side seam threads to open the sides of the lace t. Insert solid panels
cut from the solid stash top. Leave the sleeve seams and searge an inch away from the seam. Turn this under to create a facing for the now sleeveless arm opening.
AFTER: A perfect fit cami to
layer under turtleneckss and sweaters on cold school days.
AFTER: Similar to my last cami refashion Lace cami to layer under sweaters. Dress form is small, but cami is perfect fit on me. |
After: Solid inset |
After: Lace cami with solid sides. |
BEFORE: Small Lace t- from the stash. |

What a great fix for a needed cami. Staples can get over looked, this is really pretty.

Thanks. It helped me stay warm while running errands in the cold today. Better yet it was fun to see how pretty it was when changing for bed.
Great job. All these refashions must be keeping you busy!!!
