Maybe because true, sewing abilities are evidenced in the talented creations shared, or that drafting is such a large portion of the challenge. Both concepts are practically obsolete to us; hence, the reeling effect.
But, then we went off the deep end – literally – taking the plunge with a terry cloth, tie-dyed, chevron towel. “Tie-dye” AND chevron?? Are you kidding us??
So, what did we do? It was a simple ‘remix.’ Really, it was {besides trying to line up those wonky chevron stripes between pieces}. In fact, we had done something similar for little sister a few months ago, using the Maja Heirloom, Sophie Top, as a starting point.
We combined the yoke and skirt pieces of the Popover Sundress to create one piece for the top. Three inches in width was added around the base – 3/4 inch per piece, angled outward. Finally, we shortened the 3T size by 3 inches.
but one that will get LOTS of wear in the months to come.
Next PR&P Challenge: The CANDY Challenge! Another s-t-r-e-t-c-h {hint, hint} for us….but we used our favorite candy – and expended much THOUGHT / ENERGY to tie it all together. Any guesses??
