Hello all!
Woo! I am moving in 2 weeks and feeling the pressure! My sewing room is being packed up now, but I managed to knock out one more project before condemning my sewing machine to a moving box.
 |
| I previously refashioned this top by taking it in, removing the collar, and shortening the sleeves to elbow length. I wasn't really feeling the sleeves anymore, so I wanted to change them. |
 |
| I chopped them into short sleeves, but because the fabric was so flowy I was having a hard time rolling a hem under |
 |
| So I decided to use the edge of some somewhat canvas-like fabric as a "facing" of sorts? I'm sure this is not proper and seamstresses all over the world are screeching but it actually worked really well! I sewed the fabric to the raw edge... |
 |
| Then rolled it under a couple times and sewed it down! |
 |
| Tada! This tunic now has short sleeves and I'm excited to start wearing it again! |
And there you have it.... The next project you see will be coming at ya from a new room in a new place!

What a cute print. I like your idea for the sleeves. If it works it is proper enough. Great job.
