Refashion A Scarf Into A Tunic

Image
Hi there, welcome back 🌸 I refashioned my old scarf into a cozy tunic and love how it turned out. I planned to do this many months ago and glad I finally did it.  This tunic can be worn as a layer or as it is. It is so comfy and warm, perfect for the cooler weather we are having now.  The material of my scarf is a wool blend in a lovely print. I got it from a friend 15 years ago. The refashioning process was easy and fast, I started with making the neckline. Cut the length and use the leftover fabric for the neckband. I pinned and sewed the neckband to the neckline. And here is the look of the neckline on the wrong side. I got a little problem, the neckline was gaping and I reduced both sides by adding darts in both sides at the shoulder lines 0.50".

Burdastyle Wrap Shirt

I decided to make this wrap shirt last week for my entry to  #burdachallenge2018  on Instagram and so surprised that I did this shirt in three days. I didn't make a muslin or wearable muslin, I was too brave but happy the final result wasn't so bad. It was a little bit loose at the shoulder and the wrap was too low for my liking but I can wear it. I will raise the wrap and make better fitting at the shoulder one day I make this shirt again. Pattern:  Wrap Shirt 07/2018 - 107  I used size 36 for the bust, 38 for the waist and hip. I did full arm adjustment and I'm happy with it. Fabric: I used printed knit jersey, leftover from  my previous dress  that I made in July.

September Garments

Hello fellow sewists, I made one wearable muslin and three dresses based on  Burdastyle Bow Back Maxi dress 129 - 11/2013  size 36 last month. And I'm glad that I wore the three dresses during my trip to Bangkok in the beginning of this month. They were perfect to wear in hot weather because I used cotton fabrics and the style was little bit loose and cosy 💕
