I did a little refashion the other week and it turned into this little square necked top! It's made from a thrifted tee (I always forget to take a before pic, just imagine a really boxy tee and pretend I did), and I decided to play with the stripes a bit! Taking my cues from this fab tutorial...this tee was created.
The knit I was working with was kind of odd, so it doesn't lay as nicely as I'd hoped, but oh well. It's also a bit big on her...Sadie is in the awkward in between sizes stage.
My favorite part is the back yokey thing. It was a total accident. I cut out both shirt pieces with the front neckline. Whoops! Too low for the back. So I cut out a piece to fit, with stripes going the other way for fun, and serged it in. It worked great and I love all the stripes going every which way! It's a big dizzying, but in a good way? Eh, I like it.
Oh yeah and then I added a little fabric flower on front. Just chopped off the bottom of an old tee, gathered the raw edge, and sewed it into a circle flower. Easy peasy! Have you refashioned anything lately?

Very smart! It makes me wanna run to the striped-knit-department of my fabricstore....
Very cute model with a beautiful tee.
I love that back yoke!!! I think square necklines may be some of my favorite to play around with, I need to start playing around more with stripes - there is just so much you can do with them!
The back yoke is too fun!! It's awesome that the shirt will fit her for longer too. :) Ansley's in the middle of a growth spurt and stuff that I've made in the last few weeks is already too small. Guess I should've waited. :)
Cuuute! That accidental back yoke is a great touch. =) I love all the play of the stripes.
Super cute, I might have to fashion a dress like this!! I just finished a small clutch from a very expensive bridesmaids dress. Long story short, my cousin was in a wedding and the seamstress totally botched the alterations and the dress was beyond repair. I finally found the right pattern and finished today :)
I just have to tell you that, when I look at your blog posts and see your adorable little girls, I can't help but smile! Thanks for brightening my days!
Oh man, my "to upcycle" pile is getting out of hand--time to work some magic! Thanks for the inspiration! My most recent repurpose was this top out of some old curtains...
