update: i'll be needing a little more time to get everything ready and in the shop, so the update will be moved to early next week, monday or tuesday.
i love this second-hand flowery fabric. i had a hard time deciding whether to use it to make a top or leggings. i think a fun tee was the right choice. one pocket and a little stripey neck binding (made from a thrifted shirt). super comfy, yet flattering swingy shape.
i probably should take pictures of second-hand garments before i cut them up to make new things. i'm always so eager to get going, i wash up the stuff and start pinning and snipping. i'll have to work on that. anyway, i used the skirt part of a dress to make this tank. i love the fabric. it has a nice flow-y drape and the cutest little green splotches.
i was about to put the rest of the dress into my scrap pile, when i realized i really liked the fit of it... so, i changed the neckline and added the little flounce at the hem (complete with vintage lace) and re-attached the original big green button. i think it's pretty fun!
both available soon.
my line of clothing made only from second hand fabrics now has a name! the first few garments sporting these tags (printed on thrifted fabrics, of course) are comfy tops made from fun vintage knits. they're based on the pattern i used to make this top and will be in the plastic foliage shop soon.
