Refashioned Tunic

I'm really in to refashioning right know. Why, you might think? Well for the first, it is easy and for the second, it is wearable immediately! So, to the tunic. It was an ordinary asymmetrical black tunic that I got bored at, I did hardly not use it anymore! 

The first thing I did was cutting of the asymmetrical pieces and make it into a long top length. 

The neckline were literally falling apart! I solved this problem with pinning black bias tape were the ordinary neckline should have been if I did not remove it. 

Taaa daa! A great top that I have been using a couple of times already, even though it now is in the washing machine. 

Dixie DIY T-shirt

I made this T-shirt from Dixie DIY in February and I wore it immediately! I really like it, however next time I will add a couple of cm because it was a bit short for me. 

It is made in a patterned jersey, and I will use it both to dressy and casual events. 

The pattern instructions were simple and Dixie had tips for sewing with knits, both over at her blog and included in the pattern. 

The T-shirt is really simple, and just take a hour or so to make. And the greatest thing of all is that it is a free pdf pattern! Just print out and start sewing!

Thank you for this pattern Dixie!

This is a top I made in November 2011, but never wore, therefore there is no pictures of me in it. Actually, I don't know if I'll ever wear it. I hated the model, and it was my first project sewn in a knit. 

The fabric is an amazing leopard pattern jersey. 

More pics will come when I actually wear it! (if I do)... 

P.S. I don't recommend the pattern

1 Month celebrates with promo on new projects

This Monday I haven't been buying any clothes for a whole month! (And that's hard for me...) Instead I have been spending my ,money on fabrics! And here is my three new projects (the ones I bought fabrics to):

Simplicity 2254 that i bought for 9 SEK ($1.5) on Tradera (Swedish version of Ebay) last week. I can't find any pictures on it because it's from 1978. But it is a dress with ties for the shoulders and a flounce in the bottom of the dress.

Next project is the Butterick 5064 Dress (version B)! That I found in my mum's stash.  It's simple but classy, and here is a picture:

And at last, The Sorbetto top from Collette patterns!

Fabric: 1.2 m, Elastic Jersey 79 sek/m

Pattern: BurdaStyle 3/2011 #127

Hours: 2

Size: 38/40

I started this projekt before I went to France and I did the last five minutes of it yesterday. It was really easy but they wanted be to sew the neckline by hand, I sewed it on the machine. They did also wan me to do the hems pon the sleeves by hand, but I decided to just do some zigzag, because I'm going to fold the sleeves anyway. 

 

I did decide to start using points on everything I make, from now (going to explain it later). And thi is the points:
Fabric:1

Pattern: 1
Cost: 1

So, I have 3 points after one project!

And at last I just wanted to say that I recomend the fabric and the pattern, both of them were easy to work with. 

I also wanted to say what my sister sad when she saw the jersey: "Where did you buy that? I want one!"
