Finished a couple of clothing recons. First up is this t-shirt.
It was a simple white t-shirt I got for 25 cents. It fit me perfectly, but I like my tees to be more on the pretty side.
Here’s the after shot. Since this t-shirt already fit me well, I didn’t have to remove the sleeves to adjust it like I usually do. I did cut the hems of the sleeves off at an angle before re-hemming them and adding lace and elastic. I cut the the neckline in a slight square shape being sure not to cut it too low, did that one before. I trimmed the neck with the same lace as the sleeves. You probably can’t see the lace very well in this photo, but it will pop up again. I recently brought it from SAS. A humongous spool of pretty lace for only $1. It will last for many years and hundreds of projects. I think it works wonderfully for this t-shirt. Now it’s a simple tee with a touch of cuteness.
Of course I need something to wear with my cute new t-shirt. A simple full skirt works well with it. I made this skirt from a large pillow case I bought awhile ago at a rummage sale. I had been planning on making a skirt with it for months but only now got around to it. It’s a basic rectangle skirt with an elastic waistband and just a touch of lace at the hem. I love the print on the fabric. It’s tiny green flowers and from a distance they look kind of like moss. I tried to make a matching headband, but it didn’t turn out quite right size-wise. I’ll probably give it to my niece, she loves headbands and little girls can never have too many of them.
