I have a new project on the go... I have decided to take an old dress from high-school (
can't believe I held on to that for so long!) and
upcycle it into a new outfit. I am hoping to use the main pattern to make a skirt, and I am currently in the process of making a top from the 'innards' of the old dress.
The black 'innards' is made of a stretchy-polyester-type, not quite enough for a whole top...but I was able to find the exact same stuff at the fabric store (
and discovered a 50% off sale...my luck!). I am following
Tasia's Pendrell Blouse sew-along and making view B.
Ruffles galore! I must say... I am not usually the ruffly type gal, but hey... the skirt bottom will have some ruffly-swing to it, so why not?
I love sewing a pattern with a sew-along! It's like having an expert right there teaching you, and then I can read all the comments and prepare myself for mishaps before they happen. (And I like that a lot...as a newish clothing sewer I pick out a lot of stitches). I am surprised at how quickly this top is coming together.
Oh, and I do realize that the actual sew-along happened awhile ago, but I can still follow along, right? :)
