I meant to post much earlier today, but since I was unconscious most of the day that plan sort of fell through. I was up really late last night working on school work, plus I got up about 3:30am this morning, so I was pretty tired a good portion of the day. Almost as soon as I got home from class I dozed off, didn’t wake up until about an hour ago.
But back to the important stuff, I finished the list.
I used an old polo shirt from high school and a some fabric from a rummage sale for the skirt part. I didn’t listen to the advice from the tutorial about using fusible interfacing, I’m paying for it now.
Beyond that, I think it came out okay. It has a loose fit to it that I find very comfortable, and it’s sleeveless making it perfect for warmer weather.
While I was at it, I decided to make another one using an old long sleeved shirt I got as a gift when I was about 12 years old. It strangely still fits me, I haven’t grown much in the past decade.
Anyway, I cut off the sleeves and neckline using pinking shears and left them like that because I thought it looked pretty. I used this fabric I got at Goodwill more than a year ago. I have more in a darker shade of blue. Again on this one I forgot about using fusible interfacing so it looks weird where the shirt meets the skirt. Still, it does look pretty and didn’t cost me a dime to boot. That’s the best part.
Here’s the updated list:
Nine done, and all is well. Can’t wait to start my next list.

Here we have a dress inspired by this adorable tunic tutorial on Tea Rose home.
