Burda Style For people who sew

Description

Here is a Re- Fashioned top/dress project that Miss Ocean Pink rearranged and sewed in a hour last week. It was very easy to make up and anyone that can sew in a straight line should be able pull this one off as well.

As both tops were stretch fabrics, it was very simple to sew them together. The waist has two rows of stitch lines for reinforcement of straight stitch and the two fabrics where stretched a little while sewing, to keep the elasticity in the garment. when sewing the sleeves in place, the stitching was sewn within the rib line section of the knitted orange top, to keep a neat finish. The shoulder pads where recycled from a jacket padding and cut in half, then sewn by hand into the shoulders of the black top. All seam edges where left raw/ un-sewn, as both of these fabrics do not fray.

The two tops cost just £1 each, from a local charity shop and was a very fun and rewarding sewing project to complete in no time at all, and another nice thing about this dress top is that, it fits Miss Ocean Pink like a glove with comfy ease.
