We design upcycled fashions that are classic/arty, flattering, with plenty of hip and belly room and sell instructions so you can duplicate our designs. Upcycle sewing is easy on the budget, good for the planet and all the tough bits are already complete, like buttonholes, collars, plackets, etc! Our commitment is that you have access to successfully transforming existing clothing into new creations.

It is an actual pattern - printed PDF - you print tiled on your home printer or send to the print shop vs. deconstruction and reconstruction instructions.<br />Why?<br />With the Carol jacket you are cutting apart the starting garments to make color-blocked "fabric" that is then used to cut out each pattern piece. </span></h3><h3>You decide how to distribute the shades & colors: light/med/dark.</h3><h3><span style="font-weight: normal;">Here pattern tester Lucy Sisson chose dress shirts in a muted palette of lavender shades. Note that the dress shirt sleeves are used to make the jacket sleeves and the sleeve cuffs make the jacket cuffs.</span></h3><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5iXk7UhRV5WrzCfQTKm11SRQXkWk5TDSxcPeSh8Vu2PVpplCjXBgXCle3gFXDMmzFkSG_Kj4ud96TruptDgynVOe8XnCWjuldXDwF12h-oJ8CFWVAoDeW1fJ9fOOj6sBoL77-O9Ka0VV4//" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="719" height="595" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5iXk7UhRV5WrzCfQTKm11SRQXkWk5TDSxcPeSh8Vu2PVpplCjXBgXCle3gFXDMmzFkSG_Kj4ud96TruptDgynVOe8XnCWjuldXDwF12h-oJ8CFWVAoDeW1fJ9fOOj6sBoL77-O9Ka0VV4/w640-h595/89971E71-C996-4737-BB78-526663EF70FF_1_201_a.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ufOg9NqkVSHQ3M8gBfbY0EnIQIMYy0SqzgqO52ERuyHKwbtozZEaSk5Kh0fYXlesKrZLDdnoDLieG15DI77i67tPtI8HdCvGOFw8zg_f1uP38EXm_qo94b3pEpAp4rWP3FT4X_9pu49Q//" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="964" data-original-width="814" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ufOg9NqkVSHQ3M8gBfbY0EnIQIMYy0SqzgqO52ERuyHKwbtozZEaSk5Kh0fYXlesKrZLDdnoDLieG15DI77i67tPtI8HdCvGOFw8zg_f1uP38EXm_qo94b3pEpAp4rWP3FT4X_9pu49Q/w541-h640/CCD86018-10EE-4315-B1E4-C09E1B200330_1_105_c.jpeg" width="541" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZH1vsPZNu7YFbbhBS_NHo6PrRlgRGAIy6jon4mTmIPrWebNe_JJ_atBZvue46R8odpiyNn5odSaE6Jsdo7mbRKeNM1JsiYPswxOY_Su14ud-hadV7et8PJr5m1bqi3j45z8cfBzXz00Qd//" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="720" height="607" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZH1vsPZNu7YFbbhBS_NHo6PrRlgRGAIy6jon4mTmIPrWebNe_JJ_atBZvue46R8odpiyNn5odSaE6Jsdo7mbRKeNM1JsiYPswxOY_Su14ud-hadV7et8PJr5m1bqi3j45z8cfBzXz00Qd/w640-h607/AC9A6D21-08FD-49B7-9494-0E4CD9B1DFC4_1_201_a.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><h3><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pattern tester Laura Fairchild also made her jacket from dress shirts but chose a bold palette.

It started as a small hole which I ignored. It grew. And grew. Soon it was more than 12" long, and then a second hole appeared. Although the nightgown was a favorite, I set it aside, thinking it was done.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi46rMAo1PZ43Cd44442Yt-SZBq5ECamPNfwA8fgw2vJLjnloo1TJtBUALYIXCEY37vaDz3tb6MprJ1NED-fX0ooeDdhTVEqgeEfi7iLWQrgXXn3GqBSHf4l2clx-pH2xK-woVeVKEFGYbA//" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi46rMAo1PZ43Cd44442Yt-SZBq5ECamPNfwA8fgw2vJLjnloo1TJtBUALYIXCEY37vaDz3tb6MprJ1NED-fX0ooeDdhTVEqgeEfi7iLWQrgXXn3GqBSHf4l2clx-pH2xK-woVeVKEFGYbA/w480-h640/IMG_2902.jpeg" width="480" /></a>Then I looked at similar nightgowns on eBay.

I also volunteer at a thrift store, the <a href="https://www.happydragonthriftshop.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; color: #0abde3; text-decoration-line: none; user-select: auto;" target="_blank">Happy Dragon Thrift Shop</a> in Los Gatos, CA, that happens to get the best vintage linens in the Bay Area. Of course we get linens that are not in terrific shape so they do not get put out. Turns out that this was one of those cases, and Antionette, the chief sorter, knows what I do and saved this piece for me, despite the holes.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><img class="fr-fic fr-dib attachment" data-asset-id="13541350" src="https://media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net/asset/13541350/fullsizeoutput_8937.jpeg?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&fm=jpg&q=75&auto=format&w=1400&h=1400&fit=max" style="animation: initial 0.4s ease-out 0s 1 normal none running; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; float: none; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 1px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">What is especially great is that because with was so well used it developed frayed spots which also meant it had been worn into a velvety perfection of cotton softness. Therefore the drape is like a nice rayon!!</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><img class="fr-fic fr-dib attachment" data-asset-id="13541764" src="https://media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net/asset/13541764/fullsizeoutput_893a.jpeg?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&fm=jpg&q=75&auto=format&w=1400&h=1400&fit=max" style="animation: initial 0.4s ease-out 0s 1 normal none running; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; float: none; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 1px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">I was itching to make something with it and because of the drape I knew it would make a great skirt. The length was perfect too. As a very pear-shaped lady I am not overly fond of tucking in shirts so making a dress was a much more appealing option.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">My "Paganoonoo Peggy" is ideal for pear and hourglass shapes. Although it is typically made with 3 dress shirts, as shown below, I thought a tablecloth could work and it did.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><img class="fr-fic fr-dib attachment" data-asset-id="13541848" src="https://media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net/asset/13541848/fullsizeoutput_4ec0.jpeg?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&fm=jpg&q=75&auto=format&w=1400&h=1400&fit=max" style="animation: initial 0.4s ease-out 0s 1 normal none running; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; float: none; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 1px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><img class="fr-fic attachment fr-fil fr-dii" data-asset-id="13541896" src="https://media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net/asset/13541896/fullsizeoutput_8901.jpeg?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&fm=jpg&q=75&auto=format&w=1400&h=1400&fit=max" style="animation: initial 0.4s ease-out 0s 1 normal none running; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; float: left; height: auto; margin: 40px 45px 40px 0px; max-width: calc(100% - 5px); padding: 0px 1px; position: relative; vertical-align: bottom; width: auto;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">l draped the skirt section with pleats so it lay nicely on my curves (how did I know? Tried it on and adjusted a bunch).</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><img class="fr-fic fr-dib attachment" data-asset-id="13542022" src="https://media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net/asset/13542022/fullsizeoutput_8903.jpeg?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&fm=jpg&q=75&auto=format&w=1400&h=1400&fit=max" style="animation: initial 0.4s ease-out 0s 1 normal none running; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; float: none; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 1px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">The join between the top and skirt sections is covered with a flannel shirt placket (the part with buttons and button holes). I made a mock "belt buckle" with a group of buttons. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">I also switched out the white shirt buttons for teal to help tie in the skirt section. Because I used the entire tablecloth intact for the skirt I needed something else for the cuffs. I really wanted to tie together the colors so looked though my stash of fabrics and vintage linens.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><img class="fr-fic fr-dib attachment" data-asset-id="13542170" src="https://media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net/asset/13542170/fullsizeoutput_8a0a.jpeg?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&fm=jpg&q=75&auto=format&w=1400&h=1400&fit=max" style="animation: initial 0.4s ease-out 0s 1 normal none running; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; float: none; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 1px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">The best color match was from a vintage unfinished quilt top. I fashioned a pocket too but did not use it as it spoiled the drape no matter where i placed it. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;"><img class="fr-fic attachment fr-dib" data-asset-id="13542224" src="https://media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net/asset/13542224/fullsizeoutput_8a0d.jpeg?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&fm=jpg&q=75&auto=format&w=1400&h=1400&fit=max" style="animation: initial 0.4s ease-out 0s 1 normal none running; border: 0px; cursor: pointer; display: block; float: none; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 1px; position: relative; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">The shirt's red is so intense I needed something to break up the back. I chose a bit of another tablecloth. It seemed slightly off center after I hand sewed in on. I used a common fall back strategy - add a distraction for the eye. Check out the button and the top of the patch and then the small cluster on the waistband. They both add visual weight to the left side, hehe, balancing things out. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #171e28; font-family: avenir, "segoe ui", helvetica, arial, sans-serif, "apple color emoji", "segoe ui emoji"; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 24px;">If you would like to make a version of this then you will find my Peggy instructions to be invaluable.

I bought a unisex t-shirt at one of my favorite seafood eateries, <a href="http://philsfishmarket.com/?page_id=434">Phil's Fish Market</a> in Moss Landing, CA. I love a black and white graphic T, but found myself not wearing it because even with it oversized on my shoulders, it would hang up on my generous hips. This is a common issue for me. </div>

The illustration above shows exactly how a unisex T fits me when the shoulders and bust are the right size for my shape - way tight on the hips and belly.<br />
<br />
I chose to make a modified version, more of a Lagenlook profile, to go with some of my palazzo / bloomer pants & pencil skirt.<br />
<br />
The hacks to the original design include:<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">1) added bust darts, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">2) the front is cut high making a very high-low hem,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">3) added ruffle on the hem, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">4) made a horizontal tuck in the sleeves and stitched in place to give a cuff-like effect, also shortening them,</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">5) and added appliquéd circles (from a felted wool sweater, also used on the pants), and bird panel.</span></div>

Here are some in process shots. I honestly did not think it would turn out at this stage. The ruffle seemed too shallow, the bright red too disconnected from the rest of the shirt, the black of the base shirt too dull. Balancing out the color by adding embellishments solved the problem.</div>

I hand stitched the bird patch on. It had the perfect combination of colors to make the lower back tie in with the upper back. It was purchased from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/eclipsee?fbclid=IwAR3b15QD_WSjhz95OzQuJGu3zWAQxBv0kifyzwIJw_KhXt5GAHnM6RpnYDw">Eclipsee Etsy shop</a> (no affiliation or kickback.) Unfortunately this particular bird is now sold out.</div>

Hi, I am Michelle Paganini and I love to upcycle clothing.<br />
<br />
I've been craving comfortable wide-legged pull on pants.<br />
<br />
Really wide, along the lines of palazzo pants/ bloomers wide.<br />
<br />
The fall 2014 Magnolia Pearl collection featured a pair of super oversized upcycled patch-worked jeans.<br />
<br />
They have been on my mind since I first saw them and they were my inspiration.<br />
<br />
I started with a modified Tina Given pattern, the Jaqueline pants.<br />

I laid out the paper pattern (front and back are exactly the same) and layered bits of denim from old jeans. The layering overlaps by at minimum 1/2" and often much more than that. As much as possible color and texture are mixed up, with pockets and circles added in at times.<br />

I've collected different colored cast jeans off for just this reason. I prefer 100% cotton for the beautiful fraying but sometimes work with blends as well.</div>

In all cases the seams are a least double sewn to reduce the chance of breaking down over time as most of the edges were left raw and will ravel. The top 5" use a lighter shirt weight denim, reducing the bulk around the waist.<br />
<br />
I've been sewing for over 40 years and had to laugh when I discovered I had made 3 left sides and 1 right side. Darn!<br />
<br />
The pant seams were sewn together with a simple straight stitch, pressed to one side, and top-stitched down making mock felled seams. Elastic in a casing makes them pull on.<br />

Are they comfortable? Yes! Paired with a top that is fitted across the shoulders&bust and flared over the waist&hips I think it makes an adorable combination.<br />
<br />
The t-shirt was modified to "fit and flare" using <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/506628922/ellie-t-shirt-upcycling-sewing-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_23">Paganoonoo "Ellie"</a> upcycle sewing instructions. The refashion makes plenty of room for hips, bellies and bottoms.<br />

Vintage linens! I find them irresistible. A beautiful red/pink damask tablecloth inspired me to make a pair of Bloomers/ Palazzo Pants. With holes I got it for the bargain price of $2.<br />

I carefully folded and laid out the tablecloth to take advantage of the selvedges and frayed edges. I used a modified Tina Givens Jaqueline pattern.<br />

I then worked on patches for the holes. A vintage quilt top (poorly sewn together) provided some of the patches.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Covid19 is contributing to a shortage of medical supplies. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As a very LAST RESORT for proper PPE (personal protective equipment) the CDC recommends healthcare providers use homemade masks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For the general public, <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52126183">recommendations</a> are shifting to wear a mask if you are in public. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When proper masks are not available, homemade is better than nothing. Masks are needed for many types of people: folks working public facing jobs, those who want to protect others from themselves in case they are a carrier, </span><span style="font-size: large;">those who work with high risk populations,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> v</span><span style="font-size: large;">eterinarians</span><span style="font-size: large;">, dentists, and other healthcare professionals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This blog post is to provide you with information on how to choose materials and provide a free pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">MATERIALS:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I did a bit of research and found a study about the effectiveness of various fibers in screening particles. The study looked at 2 factors:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1: Breathability</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2: Particle Screening Effectiveness</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">They said both were key. Vacuum cleaner bags are as effective as surgical masks, <i><b>but are not breathable</b></i>, so they are out. Cutting to the bottom line they recommended:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1: Tightly woven cotton - think high thread count sheets, not quilting fabric</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2: Tight knits</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is a video where I explain in a bit more detail on how to pick a fabric: <a class="style-scope ytcp-video-metadata-info" href="https://youtu.be/oMNX51qyD-0" style="background-color: #f4f4f4; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: nowrap;" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/oMNX51qyD-0</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">An overview article with links to the original study is <a href="https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/best-materials-make-diy-face-mask-virus/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And about ELASTIC - there has been a shortage, and medical workers have been complaining about elastic hurting their ears.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A terrific alternative is ties made with t-shirt string. This "string" is made by cutting ribbons across the body of a t-shirt and pulling it tight. The ribbon curls in on itself and makes a mostly non-stretchy string. It holds a bow very well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've made a video showing how to make t-shirt string: </span><a class="style-scope ytcp-video-metadata-info" href="https://youtu.be/uvnOOd_SeQ4" style="background-color: #f4f4f4; font-family: Roboto, Noto, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: nowrap;" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/uvnOOd_SeQ4</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've drafted a pattern based on the information provided above. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It has 3 sizes, Adult - which covers an N95 mask, pre-teen, and child. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: , , , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; white-space: normal;">Get your </span><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/9klrt8c6msq8x3y/Mask%20pattern%2003APR2020.pdf?dl=0" style="white-space: normal;" target="_blank">FREE PATTERN</a><span style="color: black; white-space: normal;">.</span></span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">This weeks challenge is "Kentucky Derby Hat"</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I found the perfect hat at my favorite thrift store, the Happy Dragon. The beaded heart coasters also came from there. I knew I needed some height so used a photo holder that holds my business cards at sewing festivals. It is adorned with my earrings.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">This weeks challenge is "Small to Large"</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So many possibilities! I settled on vintage linen pieces combined to make a larger piece - a Haori-style jacket.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The two main base pieces were a linen tablecloth with fading embroidery and a large strip of a cutter quilt (too damaged in parts to be useable as a whole quilt.)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I sorted through all the small pieces I found those that made the best color combinations, and trimmed the to size.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had never worked with faux fur before, so felt a bit intimidated. I selected a faux lambs wool coat to transform. It is very well made and was a steal for $35 at www.happydragonthriftshop.com in Los Gatos, CA where I volunteer.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Vests are also more wearable in our temperate northern California climate, so a vest transformation was my plan.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The <i>before</i> pictures were taken in bright sunlight, which makes the "fur" look a completely different color than the <i>after</i> shots. My photographer (husband George) advised open shade for the remainder of photos, right as always - thanks honey. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: helvetica; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The coat is a classic shape, with nice in-seam pockets. Liking the simplicity of the cut I decided to maintain the basic silhouette. </span></div>

After turning under the raw fur edges and stitching them in place by hand I tackled the lining. In order to curve the lining shy of the armhole opening I clipped it all the way around, turned it under, and hand stitched it in place.</span><br />

<br /><span style="font-size: large;">I considered adding embellishments. Tassels would have been fun but limited the wearing options (for me). I found ribbon that was a perfect match but looked awkward sitting on top of the textured fur.<br />I opted for straight up simple and classic. I'm loving the result. It is a very wearable vest, much more so than the jacket. Paired with a thrifted linen blouse, thrifted jeans, and gifted earrings it looks great.</span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj86MBeAxZherUKF8G4QmU_IZ7xckT6MLZ0ZUiCDrG95KbdUcXZ32nL2pYIaIGkLWXB9i6SRMLDMsjK0cWyvWGohqxgH-u533UMIIL_V1BRMXq-Zq0VjV18xFcJYmeiAj8pDoIOnU8BSadE/s1600/fullsizeoutput_7a24.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #222222; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj86MBeAxZherUKF8G4QmU_IZ7xckT6MLZ0ZUiCDrG95KbdUcXZ32nL2pYIaIGkLWXB9i6SRMLDMsjK0cWyvWGohqxgH-u533UMIIL_V1BRMXq-Zq0VjV18xFcJYmeiAj8pDoIOnU8BSadE/s640/fullsizeoutput_7a24.jpeg" width="360" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnZ-sGURCCxXGFsqI94V2MLyp5imuItbNdeDCgB_3kZ2Mj2PwWbCntF4D7aEKOEwgnvygG6vbqPGoX8wyKaufDafx-68WMPnj_FHe0lXS2478RUfUjXgfUhAXR8YYmrZVLVwN0sw-dh-MG/s1600/fullsizeoutput_7a1e.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; color: #222222; display: inline; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnZ-sGURCCxXGFsqI94V2MLyp5imuItbNdeDCgB_3kZ2Mj2PwWbCntF4D7aEKOEwgnvygG6vbqPGoX8wyKaufDafx-68WMPnj_FHe0lXS2478RUfUjXgfUhAXR8YYmrZVLVwN0sw-dh-MG/s400/fullsizeoutput_7a1e.jpeg" width="225" /></a><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">Week 2 the challenge is "1970's". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">I was actively sewing much of my high school wardrobe in the 1970's so the first place I turned to for inspiration was sewing patterns, what memories!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqf8C8-Qsc1HaPC7AxlDIiPU8PDJ2_UPux5V5CtjpdTe0f1aqUySf3-3EHq1u4URunt_vA9zdNN3fEeJupKFXe88EGNDWPblS6sOIj0-iZ52uJ64-8KoSgh8ZTi2vH6V9SGHLNzvSLaYTF/s1600/fullsizeoutput_764e.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqf8C8-Qsc1HaPC7AxlDIiPU8PDJ2_UPux5V5CtjpdTe0f1aqUySf3-3EHq1u4URunt_vA9zdNN3fEeJupKFXe88EGNDWPblS6sOIj0-iZ52uJ64-8KoSgh8ZTi2vH6V9SGHLNzvSLaYTF/s640/fullsizeoutput_764e.jpeg" width="640" /></a></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">When I was in grade school I received a canvas bank bag (remember those?) full of buttons from my Great Grandmother. As stated above I found a set to use on the vest I made from this pattern. I loved that vest!!!! I was slender then and a perfect fit for the patterns as a result. The vest fit me so well that I did not need to wear a bra, lol. Would never happen now. </span><span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">Once I saw the vest pattern I knew I wanted to make a vest, and make it from an existing jacket, as I have done in the past. </span><span style="text-align: left;">I had a very oversized silk/rayon velvet jacket in my stash in a beautiful shade of blue/slightly teal. </span><span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">Preferring to keep as many existing features from the starting garments as possible, I thought t</span><span style="text-align: left;">he lines were similar enough to the pattern to work.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">The skirt is a bias cut dirndl and a terrific color match for the jacket. It was also very oversized.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This garment was quite a challenge. I had never sewn with velvet before. I think I had tossed the jacket in the washer and drier when I first purchased it (something I almost always do no matter the fabric) because the lining was far too big for the jacket. I removed it entirely and it frayed terribly so did not seem worth trying to add back in and the end. The velvet still looked great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibATcETw_JXvewNY87Z7nTR7vQWnOlGaAHm16Dn9khformpLs4J_3ZmCxbEPSevNa9JYyNCpYLvFoc2ejnLfnbNT1Uw8P7KvUVWj8ogS2UNMNIt7Uy1ofZ_3d3xdHtlfX-BxICrQMLdBsO/s1600/fullsizeoutput_7652.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibATcETw_JXvewNY87Z7nTR7vQWnOlGaAHm16Dn9khformpLs4J_3ZmCxbEPSevNa9JYyNCpYLvFoc2ejnLfnbNT1Uw8P7KvUVWj8ogS2UNMNIt7Uy1ofZ_3d3xdHtlfX-BxICrQMLdBsO/s640/fullsizeoutput_7652.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As I unpicked most of the seams I could see that any machine stitching left permanent marks. Given the liquid nature of velvet it was tough to reshape the seams without stitching and trying the garment on to check fit. I ended up doing quite a bit of hand basting. It took 2 days to wrestle the shape into what I wanted. Whew! Would have been easier to have a friend help pin fit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-7uSapc_I5B8c60tMYW9rvA03OqyH8F_nf39i4-xFa1B3mz-ATSn4WvahkLDvO5ws-KEpelQt7jHKs6bCU-a8VDhFG8VuiULdSrZNQHyGfi-YTPr1kDHPMUxXh3KPfL7lxPStxswIpRd/s1600/fullsizeoutput_7654.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-7uSapc_I5B8c60tMYW9rvA03OqyH8F_nf39i4-xFa1B3mz-ATSn4WvahkLDvO5ws-KEpelQt7jHKs6bCU-a8VDhFG8VuiULdSrZNQHyGfi-YTPr1kDHPMUxXh3KPfL7lxPStxswIpRd/s640/fullsizeoutput_7654.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The collar was floppy, and the velvet layers shifted around. It was even worse once the lining was removed. I check my stash of thrifted embroidery thread and found a perfect color match, then topstitched around the edges of the collar to hold the layers in place. I repeated the top stitching on other seams to help control the lay of the velvet and for decorative reasons. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I added 4 snaps as closures on the vest. The jacket had 2 self covered velvet buttons that could have been added back on as a decorative element, but they just did not look good so the front was left plain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see from my collection, I never pass up a vintage (or modern) set of snaps at thrift stores, estate sales, etc. I have an identical cigar box full of hooks. Thrifted notions can be better quality and less expensive than those found in big box fabric stores. <a href="https://youtu.be/CkDNpavrnpU">See my YouTube tip on thrifted notions.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took about 6" of width off of the skirt, which improved the fit, although it is hard to see a difference in the photos. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall I am very pleased with the result. It looks so simple in the photograph compared to the effort it took to achieve the result! </div>

This time I am up against some formidable competition, particularly the coats made by Diane and Peggy which to my eye are spot on for the era. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The lady that won last time makes amazing results and works by harvesting fabric from existing garments (or this time a couch) and using it like regular flat fold cloth. I am seeing that I have a bias towards refashions/upcycles that retain original features. It feels a bit like cheating to me to use just fabric bits. That said, I'm not sure exactly why it occurs to me like that. Anything that causes discarded textiles material to be reused is fantastic! Applause for all of the contestants!</div>

<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My initial thought for the sleeve challenge was to be literal (given that I am a nerd engineering type with lipstick) and stamp an actual statement on a sleeve. I pulled out my turn-of-the-last-century alphabet stamp set and tested it with a fabric ink pad. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I even looked up some quotes to consider. Decided to save that approach for another day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To find out what I did <a href="https://youtu.be/3B4lC2uufMU">watch this video </a>and/or read below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next I turned to my ever growing collection of vintage linens. What if I used some lace and beautiful pieces to embellish a sleeve? A classic men's dress shirt is one of my favorite mediums to upcycle. I selected a thrifted solid-color light-gray shirt so the color play between the shirt and the embellishments would be subtle, and the lace/linens details noticeable without competition from a print. (<a href="https://youtu.be/4-pGp4-zmgk">Click here </a>for my video tip on color and pattern selection.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My experience with men's shirts is that when I remove the cuff, the sleeve length is just shy of full length. Also because the pleat is released from the cuff, the sleeve bottom becomes a bit wider. After removing the cuff and looking at the result, I wanted even more flare. Solution? Add a godet in the sleeve placket using the cuff corner, a</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">s seen in the picture above. S</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">pace for a second godet was created by making a pinked cut along the underarm seam and inserting the other cuff corner a</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">s seen in the picture below.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the addition of the godets the ends of the sleeves now had a bell shape with a raw </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">pinked edge.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I underlined the cuff with vintage lace, making the length a perfect long sleeve. Using what was left of the lace, I edged the collar, creating balance with the sleeves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To finish the "statement" part of the embellishment, I selected two identically styled but different shaped doilies, a rectangle and an oval. They were too delicate to look nice with machine stitching (and difficult to access with a machine), so I hand stitched them in place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The shirt fit my bust, but would not button across my hips/belly, a typical problem for my pear shaped figure. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I now had a button down shirt with a feminine sleeves and collar but not a very feminine bodice<i>. </i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Solution? I turned to my favorite upcycle sewing design, the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/217502988/pdf-patti-blouse-judy-flower-sewing?ref=shop_home_active_9">Paganoonoo Patti</a>, and added a swing back to the garment. A thrifted pajama top of soft lightweight cotton provided the perfect fabric to create the back panel, with the bonus of an existing hem! The bottom of the shirt now flared out for a much more feminine silhouette.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

It had been silkscreened with a few white overlapping circles in a workshop I took with <a href="https://hollybadgley.com/">Holly Badgley</a> at <a href="https://www.penwag.org/">PenWAG </a>(Peninsula Wearable Arts Guild, Campbell, CA), but t</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">hat was not quite enough. I added a collection of mis-matched non-functional buttons on the placket. Perfection!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/217502988/pdf-patti-blouse-judy-flower-sewing?ref=shop_home_active_9">Paganoonoo Patti </a>design is my favorite, simple and elegant, with plenty of hip and belly room. I am in love with with this sweetly feminine "Statement Sleeve" version. </span><br />
