Hello everyone!
It has been raining today, so I wanted to start with this gorgeous Second hand shop find! Yummy, no? I feel spring when I look at it! Also, little flowers started blooming around the house and made me smile, but the weather forecast said it was going to snow - again. So this little number will have to wait a minute before going to town.
I need to take it in at the sides because it's two sizes too big and maybe shorten it a few cm. And change those ugly buttons. Weeelll, you do understand I had to take it home anyway, don't you? :-))))
I also made some progress on the refashioning front. Finally those superbad fitting jeans became a skirt. Forgot the before pic, sorry.
You know how it goes:
- you measure the length and cut off the surplus of the leg length of the jeans
- unpick the seams of the legs till the point you can easily overlap the pieces
- insert a piece of the leg remnant as a panel to the front and one to the back
- pin first and than try it on to see if it fits nicely, otherwise repeat the process till you're satisfied
- sew the pieces together - I did it directly, with topstitching
To finish this skirt differently, I didn't just hem it, but stitched a decorative stitch 1 cm from the edge and then frayed it. You can click on the photo to see the detail better.
