52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 41

This weeks Challenge: Socks or Tights (Rejected)

I’ve had this shirt sitting in my stash for an upcycle project for at least a year now, so when deciding the challenges for the upcycle challenge I wanted to make sure to choose a challenge that would allow me to use it.

I decided it would be perfect to turn into a Paradise Dress. I struggled a little with the placement of the pattern pieces until I decided to take the pocket off, which gave me a little bit more room to move the pieces around, I managed to save the existing hem. Once I had my pieces cut I used the left over parts to cut strips to turn into binding for the straps. Once the dress was finished I relocated the pocket to the bottom of the skirt.

 

  

   

 

I love the look that keeping the button placket has given the dress and am now even more excited to make something from the other shirts in my stash.

 

Happy Sewing

52 Week Sewing Challenge – 3 Months In

Wow! I can’t believe we are almost half way through April already. That also means we have finished the first 13 Weeks of the 52 Week sewing challenge so I thought it was time to recap what has been sewn so far this year. When I started this challenge I was hoping it would be a way to encourage me to sew something each week, so far this has been the case. It’s really great to look at the below images together. It’s not too late to join in, you can find the challenge group on facebook here.

52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 6

This weeks Challenge: Something Red or Pink (Accepted)

 

In case you haven’t noticed I am loving the Sprouts Bloomies at the moment and they go perfectly with the Paradise in shirt length. Again I have made a slight change to the Bloomies pattern and I am so happy with how they turned out!

To make these Bloomies I have changed which cuff I used. Normally for Bloomies you would use cuff A, for this pair I used cuff D and some elastic, which meant no gathering for those of you who don’t like it.

Cuff D is the same size as the leg opening so you need to attach as per the instructions for Sprouts Stumpies leaving a gap to thread elastic through. Your elastic should be the same length as cuff A for the size you are making.

Happy Sewing xx
