At first, I wanted to combine two blouses (bought in the mid '90s) but after much consideration, I decided to just sacrifice one because I thought the other one could be used for another project.
So for this fashion reconstruction project, I chose a floral cotton blouse and combined it with a piece of gingham and to extend the length of the skirt, I added two tiers of chiffon and laceribbon between the joints.
I constructed new pair of sleeves and reused the old sleeves as well. I also used laceribbon to keep with the same theme.
As with previous project, this one also involved a lot of hand and machine stitching.
Also, I had to make sure that the seams are aligned.
Halfway through the project, I caught the flu bug. This time around, it was not as bad as before because it was only due to the rainy season, nothing serious that I could not carry on sewing.
And within a week, I managed to complete the new dress.
When I put on this new dress, it reminded me of "Little house on the prairie". you'll see...
Who could tell that this was a cut-and-paste project, if I had not disclosed the facts?
I can proudly say that you cannot find this item anywhere. 💃🐒👌🙋
