Ah! Remember the 80’s? Not only the decade, but when I was in the 87th day of this project? Let me jog your memory on both counts. 🙂
On Day 87, I wore the skirt of this 2-piecer as a fun cocktail dress. Today, I’m going to tackle that top!
You can probably guess what I did first…
Next, I folded the top in half, and made a big cut down the front.
Ooookay…now we’re getting somewhere! 🙂 I turned those raw edges under and pinned them.
All that was left to do was run each side through my machine…simple enough, right?
At the very end of my last seam, my needle broke! 🙁 I checked my sewing supply stash, and discovered that I was completely out! Blerg! And I couldn’t find any hand-sewing needles either! Looks like it’s time to make a supply run before I tackle my next project! I’m just lucky the needle didn’t break right in the middle of making my sweet new jacket! 🙂
I had a fun time hanging out at Art Bar where I indulged in a tasty dinner (courtesy of KC Hot Dogs). 🙂
My new jacket isn’t the warmest thing in the world, but it did keep some of the chill away. 🙂
Cheers!
I LOVE seeing your re-fashions!!! You are AMAZING!!!!
“I’m not your good man; I happen to own this establishment.” lol
Ok this transformation is freakin’ awesomeeeeee! What the heck how are you so creative? I love to thrift shop and these types of transformations could transformation my wardrobe with a fraction of the cost of going to the mall. You are my inspiration to being thrifty and fashionable!
Thank you so much! 🙂 That’s what this little blog is all about: showing everyone that you can be fashionable AND earthy/wallet/people friendly. 🙂 Thanks for reading! BTW… I just checked out your blog, and I’ve gotta say, those onsies are adorable! 🙂
That´s lovely and the photo of you and the guy in the corset is hysterical!
He’s such a funny guy! 🙂 He was trying out his halloween costume early. I’m not quite sure exactly what he’s supposed to be…:)
He looked to be a cross between Dr. Frank N. Furter, & Freddie Mercury {moustache}… 😀
