Anyway, I've been doing some sewing lately, and I recently refashioned an old skirt and shirt into a tunic-y top...it's a shirt that wants to be a dress but is really too short for that, haha. The shirt I used is one of my favorites...but I outgrew it awhile ago, and it was passed on to my sisters. Now they've outgrown it, and it made it into my sewing pile.(: Since it was one of my favorites, I knew I had to make it into something really special. The skirt is a hand-me-down which I always liked because if the sweet asymmetrical hem, but for some reason never wore. When I was trying to think of something to do with the shirt, I somehow connected the two, and started sewing.
Here's what I came up with:
It reminds me of a mix of renaissance princess and Edwardian styles.(: Very romantic.
What do you think?(:
And here's an extra shot for you - this little guy moves so much that it's hard to get a good picture; this is the first one.
Isn't he a cutie-pie? ^^
Have a lovely day!

ReplyDeleteHe's actually a parrotlet! But he's very soft and sweet...and we've taught him to say "cute and fluffy." ^^ which is pretty much all he ever says, but it's soooo cute!
