The World’s End Top

When I found this $1 jumper at the thrift shop, I thought it might be fine as-is.  But when I tried it on, I noticed something.

Do you remember how I said this jumpsuit gave me a case of camel toe that rivaled the Prancercise Lady’s?  Well…we have a NEW winner!  :/  There’s no way in hades I’m going out in public while wearing this thing…not as-is anywho!

I grabbed my scissors and started cutting!  First, I snipped off those tiny ruffly things from the front of the jumper.

Then, I cut the seams from the crotchal region of the jumpsuit, like so:

Almost done!  🙂  I pinned the cut-up crotch part to make a straight line with what would end up being my new top.

I stitched each side down…

…then chopped off the excess material with my pinking shears.  since the original hem of the former shorts lined up perfectly, I didn’t have to stitch a new one.  🙂

I tossed on my new top, and headed off to a movie night with friends!

Our film du jour was this bit of Simon Peg/Nick Frost awesomeness!

You’re probably wondering why I’m holding the head of one of our former presidents on my hand.  For some delightful reason, our host had a few laying out for our enjoyment (and confusion).

Of course, masks are always fun!

As some of you who know, I’m going off the sauce for a couple of weeks.  This was Day 1.

I have good & healthy reasons for giving my beloved booze a break.  But as you can see, I’m still fully capable of being interesting & weird without it.  😉

Cheers!
