Breezy Tank Refashion

 

 I wanted to accentuate the collar pattern at the top with a different color material. I used this beautiful blue/purple shimmery fabric that I had left over from helping a friend add more fabric to a t-shirt.

I began by tracing the collar detail and made my very own pattern!

REPORT THIS A
Pinned it on the material and began cutting it out.  

  

 Pinned my ‘socks’ to the shirt.

I began sewing. Everything was going smoothly…

Then THIS happened! 

GRRRRR! You’ve got to be kidding me!!!!! After I calmed down after my fit of rage, I used my seam ripper to get rid of this boo-boo and started again.

Then I wanted to add a fabric flower to the bottom of the shirt. I made my own pattern by tracing an image of a flower. I really wanted this flower to have a full look rather than being totally flat so I pinned and cut two flowers!

With my trusty sewing machine I sewed the bottom flower on…

 

Then I stitched the top flower on with some embroidery thread that matched the shirt color for some extra pizzaz! But I wasn’t done there! Oh no!

 

I added three buttons to the middle of the flower too!

 

 

I am so super excited about how this turned out! My face doesn’t really reflect how excited I am but trust me, I can’t wait to wear this on a hot summer day!

 

Happy Refashioning!

The Shorts Dress Refash

 

After I purchased this dress I took it home only to find out that it is not a dress at all! It is a shorts dress! I was so delighted, how neat! (Pay no attention to my face. Where am I even looking?)

I wasn’t too crazy about the faded white background of this “dress” so I put it into the washer with some Teal fabric dye.

Once my “dress” came out of the dye I took in the sides by a 1 1/2 inches. Sewed that  up and Bingo! A new summer outfit!

Yellow Silk

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I wanted to use this pretty silk fabric from my mother-in-law. It is actually supposed to be used in home decor but today it's going to be a skirt. 

Before-Silk decor fabric. After-A wrap skirt for me. 

I had a long narrow rectangle of yellow floral silk. I decided to make a wrap skirt because the size and shape of the fabric. The weight was great for a wrap skirt too. It was stiff and thick enough to make a great skirt.

I made the skirt but I needed to make some kind of waistband that could tie the skirt closed. I used this bias tape instead of trying to make my own. I did not have that much fabric left over to work with. And this was easy and quick.

 

I added a magnetic snap to keep the skirt layers together inside the skirt. I sewed it in by hand.

 

I wen to the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. You can see the Washington and the Lincoln Monuments behind me. Thanks for reading along, for more details and pictures go to I Can Work With That.
