Sewing Clothes

Usually when I try to make clothes for myself lately, it's a disaster.  But this time it came out okay.  And I love this fabric from Joann's.

I bought this pattern from Goodwill for a buck.

The pattern is for a really cute vintage syle dress, but it wouldn't flatter my figure.

So I decided to make a shirt by extending the length of the front and back bodice pieces by 6". 

And Voila!





Funny thing is the armholes are so big that I had to wear a tank top underneath.  I guess this pattern was made for those no-bra-wearing years (70's or 80's).  I looked for a date on the pattern and there isn't one.

To me, this fabric is just dreamy!!  Oh and yeah, I had to make these photos headless.  :)
