Scraps. I love scraps. This is some fabric I had leftover from a shirt I made almost a year ago. It was time to play with it.
I started with a sketch of this little tank dress.
I did my ironing, my measuring, my cutting, my pinning, and started to sew...
The result?
The Front really ended up being the back, and I only made one strap that I braided and then attached to create a halter style top. I also ended up hating the length because the fabric was too unforgiving. So I cut off about 6 inches and made it into a tank top and then put it on, tucked it in, and covered it with a jacket.
Every time I begin a project I always think "Oh this one for sure is going to turn out just like I plan." Nope, hasn't happened. Not once.
oh that is super cute great job my sewing machine scared me sometimes ;)
ReplyDeleteI think it is cute, and looks comfy!
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean about it not being what you planned. Few things I make turn out as I originally planned, LOL. Usually I have to bend my idea to what's available at the store in my price range. Some come closer than others, but few are exactly as planned. Right now I am working on a set for my niece which has evolved many times during its construction. Originally it was going to be butter yellow and blue. Somehow it wound up brown and aqua. LOL

Awe, it looks great! I wish I knew how to sew! My mom was such a great dressmaker ... She was going to teach me use the sewing machine one day, but we never got to do it :(.
