PRP Refashion Week

Take one old maternity tank top and one of my teenage daughter's old tops and what do you get?







This is the Lucille top from ShwinDesigns in a 2T. I shortened the sleeves to elbow length out of necessity. That's how refashions go sometimes. It worked out great because this will carry into spring nicely. 

The Lucille top is a very cute raglan sleeved tee. There are two little pleats at the front and back of each sleeve and the "V" shape color blocks make it lots of fun to combine fabrics. I was a little worried about sewing those angles, but the pictures in the instructions are nice and clear and make it easy. I think it turned out great and I know I'll make more of these. My teenager wants one too so I'll have to try to adapt a pattern to fit her since this one only goes up to a girls size 8. 






 I had to pick off some of the metal discs in order to hem the sleeve and sew the sleeve seam. That gave me the idea to replace them and use more of them on the front and other sleeve. I destroyed a couple of finger nails trying to get those things off. I hope the glue I bought works as well as the original stuff did!









That glue was so fun. I might get carried away and start bedazzling everything now!!!!!
