silk shirt crop
according to the blog archive, i bought this shirt in october. and i didnt get a decent pic of it then cos i was already considering re-donating it. welp clearly i didnt and tonight finally got around to refashioning it into something wearable. [i bought it cos its green silk and im a sucker.] and yes two projects in one night cos im unemployed and going out of my effing mind.
step one: lay shirt out flat and take blurry picture
step two: cut off sleeves and bottom. find similar shirt and trace neckline badly. cut anyway.
step three: use towel and stove as makeshift ironing board to press bottom and sleeve hems, make crappy crappy bias tape for neckline and struggle for an inordinate amount of time.

ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this on some thrifted shirts. :)
hahh thanks. lots of random thoughts crop up and i feel i must share with whoever is reading.
ReplyDeleterelatively easy fix, but if you use a similar shirt for neckline and length etc it saves a lot of trying on/taking off/trying on with awkward pins everywhere
Cute refashion! The green silk is beautiful.
