This is going to be a quickie post for a quickie project! Project Runway Season 10 is in full swing, which means my sewing itch is in full effect as well! Hubby and I have been busy with house projects so I have not had any spare minutes for random fashion sewing sprees. I was inspired by this picture on Pinterest (imagine that!) :
I thought, cute vest, I have a few old blazers that I don't wear, wonder if I could make this?! I also was itching to play with my SketchBook program on the iPad again. :) So here is what I did:
Above I am pointing to the label as being "cheap"... not the awesome hanger craft friend Meesh gave me for being her bridesmaid ;-) Thanks Meesh. it's so perfect for my blog I can hardly stand it!!! So the cheap label is Miley Cyrus from Walmart...but it gets better...I got it from the thrift store! So basically sooooo cheap they should have paid me to take it ;-)
When I cut the sleeves off (above) I left about 1 inch beyond the sleeve seem. This was enough to fold inward and sew down. (below)
Note the time above? No wonder I have not been making it to my 6:00am BodyPump class at the Y like I was last year!!
That's it! Anyone else get inspired by reality TV? :)
So glad I'm not the only one who gets possessed with the sewing spirit during Project Runway!! I can't wait for the finale. Kinda hoping Dmitry wins. And your vest turned out super cute! Much cuter than the original blazer!
Thanks Char!! I like Dmitry as well, I also really liked Alicia... I think she probably has a huge niche with her "tomboy" clothes. I loved some of her pieces!!
