Note: I have a special surprize at the end of this post, it is somethig to do with the fabric I used...hint hint hint ;)
In the last few posts, I wrote about the vintage dress I found at a thrift store and the things I made out of it.
I still had more fabric left, so I decided to make a top for the upcoming season. I just finished it...
The close up...
I used a pattern from Simplicity(2415), but I changed a few things here and there to make it mine. I made thin strips of ribbon to use as a belt. Also, I couldn't resist to add a feminine touch by adding ruffles in front. I LOVE how it turned out!
I can think of so many different ways to wear this shirt. For example, with some denim...
or, capris and other bottoms, but I think my favorite outfit will be with a white skirt...
accompanied by my favorite white straw hat...
I have a little surprize for you all... The skirt of the vintage dress was made from 4 panels of fabric. Now I am down to 1 panel. Since I had so much fun with this fabric, I thought you would too. I am doing a fabric giveaway!
The rules are simple:
1. Leave a comment on this post (you will get one entry)
2. Become follower of my blog and show me your beautiful face on my side bar (second entry)
3. Blog about this giveaway on your blog and link back (third entry)
I will announce the winner on the night of Friday the 16th. What would you make if you win the fabric? A scarf? A bunch of flowers? The possibilities are endless.
I am really excited about this giveaway, I hope you are too. Have a nice week everyone!
I love the top, well done! I'd really like to win this fabric. :)

ReplyDeleteI love your top! You always have such neat well made things. I would love the last panel of your dress to make some things for my Mom. I am refashioning some t-shirts right now for her and I am using some of your tutorials. I would love to make a flower corsage and if there is enough a scarf. She is a neat wonderful lady. She is 83 and dresses so cute! Thanks for the opportunity. Deb

Beautiful fabric - I know I could make something really neat with this. Love your wreath from previous post.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing. Talk about more bang for your buck. You've done this to the ultimate with this up-cycle.
ReplyDeleteLast week at sewing club one of the gals showed a wonderful scarf. Oh, how I loved her scarf. She used a panel of filmy fabric and added fabric blossoms to each end to lengthen the piece. It was so feminine, I swooned.
This panel will work like a charm so that I will have a beautiful girly girl scarf of my very own.
Thanks for blogging, we ♥♥♥♥ your posts.
Hugs,
Gerry
