REFASHIONS!!!
~
SO my lovely and amazing (really, very amazing. and gorgeous.) friend Sara had recently posted some really super adorable projects she completed. They were some t-shirt refashiony things that were so cute I just could not control my own self and had to give them a whirl as well, despite the fact that I had no actual directions or guidance on it. Tee hee. I just threw all caution to the wind and went for it. And , while my things so far do not hold a candle in coolness and complexity to hers so far...it is still super rewarding and fun to have something with ruffles on it that I made. hahaha! I highly recommend sewing something with ruffles- and better do it quick before the trend has died! haha.



And so....here are my first two somewhat quickie attempts!




The pink one I didn't get a "before" pic...but it was just without the ruffly collar part. That's all.


I love how the ruffles dress it up though!

And then, on the black shirt, I also forgot to take a before pic, so I took a picture of a brown identical shirt I have, so you can see that it was a plain crew neck t-shirt. Stretchy, but plain.




On this I cut a V-neck into it...and also cut the t-shirt length sleeved into more of a cap sleeve length. I added a thin small row of ruffles around the entire neckline, and then I added a thicker row along the bottom 2/3rds of the v-neck, which really looks more like a ushape in the end. Just how it sewed up. I have to layer it with a tank top, which is good anyway because it needed a little length as well.
