Day 110 - upcycled buttoned t-shirt

I've used an old stretchy top and a mans shirt to create today's project.  Using the buttons I've added some interesting detail and some extra room for comfort.  I used the original cuffs to create little cap sleeves. I think I'm going to add some hook and eyes between the buttons.

Day 33 - DIY hybrid top

I planned to make a skirt today, something nice and warm for winter, but I couldn't find the right fabric in my studio, or at least enough of the right fabric. So instead I took a frilly blouse and an old halter neck and made a smart hybrid. It's always a challenge matching a jersey fabric with cotton or something without stretch. There is a bit of a tug around the back but I think I managed to add enough room by pulling the jersey to full stretch as I stitched.
