Here's the first one. Started as a tank top and skirt. |
First I cut the shorts out of the skirt. |
Then I cut the legs apart. |
Then I shaped the legs, into sleeve shapes. |
Then I pleated them at the top and sewed them into the tank top. |
Next I cut the waist band off the skirt (It was way to tight with it on), and then sewed it to the shirt. |
Here it is pinned together. |
Here is the outcome! Yes that is the waist band in her hair (her idea not mine, although it is a good one.) |
I knew I wanted to put a bow on it so I had some scrap material left over from another project and I cut it out.. |
Sewed the sides |
turned it right side out and pinned the top together (with the top folded in) |
Here is the pillowcase and shirt |
Turned the shirt inside out and took the sides in and then trimmed off the extra. |
Next, I cut the casing off the pillowcase |
pinned it onto the bottom of the shirt for a waistband, |
Then, I pinned pleats into a portion of pillowcase for the skirt |
Here is a close up of the pinned pleats. |
Sewed it all together and hotglued the bow on. You can't really see the bow in this picture. |
I made her turn sidewise and put her arms out, so I could get the bow in!!!! |
Cute! You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are so talented! I love both of these. I always have tons of things I want to sew and put them aside because I'm really a terrible sewer! Good job!
