I’m sure you guys remember when I cut into this piece from Day 269.
And hopefully some of you remember when I refashioned the top part of this dress from Day 142…
I really loved the fabric on both of these pieces, so I decided to make like Mary Shelley and create a Frankentop! :)
First, I trimmed the bottom of the piece from Day 142 to match the width of the top of what would soon be my new top. I left a bit of a seam allowance so I could sew it back up and still have it match the top.
Then, I pinned this fabric tube to the top of the dress from Day 269.
Then, I stitched it all together!
There was no need to hem the bottom of this one, as I was using a scrap that already had a hem in place, so I was good to go!
Cheers!
Your franken-top looks great! It’s like two for the price of one :)
I really like it! The combination of prints makes it more custom.
I’m interested to know what you do with the leftovers.This is a large piece of fabric left over. It would be very hard for me to toss these large pieces.
TO Elizabeth Platzer: Actually, this top was made from the leftovers of two previous refashions. Jillian often uses every part of a clothing article; rarely if ever does anything go to waste, including the shoulder pads, or even smaller scraps!! {One of the things I enjoy the most about her refashions!!}
When I first saw these two together I got a little ick in my head…thought. Once it was finished and on it really works. I’m just too in my boxy head sometimes I think…
