Before I read about
Wardrobe Refashion, I used to fall for "bargains" that weren't really bargains. I can't believe that a Buy One Get One (BOGO) promotion lured me to buy not two, but four square-necked t-shirts.

The neckline on all of them was always wonky. |
Perhaps the reason why I didn't previously own any square-necked t-shirts was because they don't suit me? Or that the necklines don't lay smoothly?
Two t-shirts in my refashion bin donated their neckbands to the cause. Plus, I have turquoise and cobalt fabric to recycle into a future color-block shirt.

Two instant tops that go with my new skirt! |
The colors work really well with
my latest skirt,
Vogue 9951.

A better look at the color (mis)match. |
I used only my regular sewing machine. (I find serger thread at the shoulders and neck uncomfortably scratchy.) There was a little bit of stretching/buckling, but a steam iron took care of it.

I steam-pressed the necklines into smooth submission. |
I'm spending the weekend inside, wrapping up WIPs for both work and home. Can you believe the amount of snow predicted for this April storm? 12-18 inches, AGAIN.
I decided to make lemonade with lemons. I'm going to experiment with snow-dyeing. Stay tuned.
Those are some of my favorite colors, excellent save. Have fun with snow dyeing; I love the effects that happened when I did it.
ReplyDeleteThese are great colours. I'm looking forward to your snow experiments.
