Day 285: Nostalgia Top
When I saw today’s piece at the thrift store, I immediately became nostalgic. This is a pajama top that is almost identical (just a different color) to a set of pajamas I had in high school that used to be my grandmother’s in the 70′s. I loved them to death, but accidentally got bleach all over them, and that was that. :/
Or was it? 🙂
Well hello there, old friend! 🙂
I scoured the thrift store, looking for the bottoms to this top, but they were nowhere to be found. 🙁 Had I actually found them, I would have happily kept them as my new fave pair of jammies! Sadly, this was not meant to be. Happily, this means a refashion is in store! 🙂
I put the PJ top on my dress form, and pinned the sides…
Hot. Pinning. Action!
I stitched up the sides on my machine, like ya do.
This is how we do it.
I cut off the extra fabric, but still wasn’t quite pleased with my new top…yet!
Chop! And Chop!
Now my new top is ready for a gloriously sunny day!
Too bad I made it at night. :/
Oh the joys of lounging in a comfy silky top! See? You can wear your jammies in public! 😉
Digging that Art Deco applique big time!
Cheers!

Very cute!
Nice! Not clothing, but I had acquired my Grandmother’s costume jewelry after she died. It languished around in mostly broken pieces for years. Most of it was from the 1940s and 50s! A few years ago, I had it remade into new pieces. I love them, and get compliments on the unique pieces all the time!
That is super cute!! I really like what you did with it.
Cute! I am glad you got rid of those sleeves.
