A skirt and a shirt

Here are two pieces I haven't shared yet:

I love this skirt even though the color is totally wrong for me. It is the most worn of the season. :-)

Wonderfully soft and light fabric. The bow at the neckline is not exactly visible but it is there, and the pattern placement happened by accident. :-) In spite the hunchback optical illusion this shirt is a dream to wear.

Ciao!

T-shirt refashion

Two finished objects from the UFO-refashion pile!

1. Simple basic white T-shirt

The pattern used is ..... I lengthened it 2.5 cm and did a slight sway back alteration but it looks like in need of some more, right? And also the shoulders need to be moved forward a bit.

Two different fabrics (shirts) were used for this one. Pique for the body, and plain knit for the sleeves and inserts. I used the front of the refashioned T to make the back because there was a big oval label I couldn't get rid of. So I used it to my advantage to design something nice.

Revers applique and tiny pearls on the right shoulder!

2. Pika-chu!

This one was refashioned from one ooold shirt of my brother's. So fun! I love the little lightning monster!

The pattern used is ..... in which I altered the sleeves to make them slightly puffed.

The back looks better than in the previous example. Let's see what happens when I wash them.

So, which patterns did I say I used???? Eh?? Can't even find them right now....Hmmmm...

The other orange polkadot shirt

As always, using remnants - orange polkadot knit and some white from a small pareo.

The pattern is, again, Burda 5/2009 -103A. I changed the long sleeves with more flared small cap sleeves.

Actually, this shirt was finished a few days ago. Still, I was looking at it and was not satisfied. Something was missing.

I tried this and that, and the only thing that seemed to work was this doily. What do you think?

It's just pinned on. Looks lovely to me.

Should I sew it on?
