Frankenblouse x3

I wanted something light to wear over tank tops this summer--and I had a bunch of blouses that didn't work for whatever reasons. So, this is handsewn from three different blouses--the main part was a cotton blouse (opened up the front); the ruffle is linen from another blouse; the sleeve ruffles are silk cuffs from a third blouse. It looks a little pirate-y, I guess, but it works for what I wanted. I might still add more laces and ruffles and such.

Why Hello There

Well Im a bit late on the introductions but better late than never.

Im Angie. Im a twenty something nursing student from Az. I blog at SewIThought.com

Here's my first project.

I got this dress from a thrift store a couple months ago for a buck. I liked the print but obviously it wasn't gona work without some real effort.

The drop-waist style added a bit of difficulty if I wanted to keep this as a dress so instead I cut it in half and made one elastic waist skirt and one sleeveless blouse.

Now I have two pieces that can be worn separately or together. Endless possibilities!!
