Pillowcases and a Pink Polo

I've been a bit sewing crazy over the last week. A couple of "reconstructions" and some stuff from scratch.

Some old pillowcases my Grandma gave me...



into a skirt for little miss:



There's another skirt too, but it got taken off before I got a photo.... will be here eventually!


This pink polo was a pain- sleeves were too big (bought it at one of my "bigger" times), and the interfacing on the collar and v at the front kept coming out... so i hacked it up, along with an old "pregnancy-stretched" supre boob-tube. I dont' really like the end result (on the left) because it makes me look short and wide, but I like the top itself and what I did to it :)



Also turned a disaster dress sewing effort from last year into a funky skirt, made a matching top and some v cool purple culottes - but no pics yet.

I did it!!!

I finally (with the help of a motivated friend) signed up for the wardrobe refashion for 4 months. I wanted to do it last year but missed the start. My plan is to do it for myself and as much as I can for the rest of the family - tho I've been told a pair of dress pants for church need to be bought "before I start". Fun!!!

So officially... I pledge that i shall refashion, renovate, recycle preloved items for myself with my own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium for the term of my contract (4 mths).
