Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this a while ago from a pair of second hand, awkward fitting trousers. I had wanted to experiment a little by deconstructing the trousers (into random cut up pieces) then reconstructing it together. Although initially I intended to reconstruct it into a skirt, it became an awkward fitting, one sleeved top instead. Nonetheless, the whole process of putting it together randomly was pretty fun and, I’d recommend it as a creative exercise.
Material Notes
2nd hand trousers ribbon instead of bias binding

Maybe it feels akward fitting, but it looks really trendy (can’t think of a better word…), interesting, inspired.
