Day 275: Frankentop
I’m sure you guys remember when I cut into this piece from Day 269.
But what happened to that top part?
And hopefully some of you remember when I refashioned the top part of this dress from Day 142…
What will become of that bottom scrap?
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.
Whirrr!
Then, I pinned this fabric tube to the top of the dress from Day 269.
Fold it under, and pin!
Then, I stitched it all together!
Two becoming one! 🙂
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!
Matchy-Matchy!
Nick and The Ladies! 🙂
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.
