"To Small to Much Smaller" Retro Redo (episode 4)

Dear Readers,

It has come to my attention that this post is being posted only 2 weeks since my last post.  Sorry to disappoint you when I said that I would drag them out. ;)

But hey!  This Retro Redo is going to be good!  It will make up for not being late!  Lets see where to start well...

The shirt you see right here is too small for me.  It wasn't ever mine, it was my sister's, and it was too small for her as well.  So I decided to make it even smaller!

So here is what I did...

First I cut it up!  Oh noooooo!!!  But oh YES!!!

Then I played around with the shape and got an idea of what I wanted to do.

Next I grabbed the surged seams of the newly cut up tank top, and rolled it into a circle... random maybe, genius... oh you're too kind! 

So then I took what I had and put it together.  *Ruffle *Casing *etc.

It was finished, I started this project at 10:00 in the night and finished it up at 3:30 in the morning... I'll let that sink in for a minuet. 

The dress was adorable!  I tried it on my little model and... IT DIDN'T FIT!!!  It was a nightmare!  I had to cut the top part of it off and improvise, I was discouraged, I lost sleep over this thing!  And this is how it repays me?  By not fitting!?!?!?!  What!?!?!  Then it got fixed and still looked cute, so the world started spinning again.  No big deal. 

And here is the finished results!

You pose that tongue! 

This is where the surged circles come in, a nice little touch to the back! 

Even though it doesn't look exactly how I wanted it to look, over all it turned out pretty good.  And my little model likes it too! 

Tip: When the customer's happy, you're happy. ;) 

See ya later! 

Summer Fun!

I decided this blog post needed a cliche title.  "Summer Fun!", its been used so many times before, so I thought why not again?  Teehee!  Well this post is just a "sneak peak" a "teaser trailer" if you will, for what is to come...  oh don't worry you will not see all of these "Retro Redo's" this summer, oh no no no!  In fact I will stay true to my dragging the blog posts out over extended periods of time, until you have forgotten all about me, then I'll show up again randomly and post something like this.  :)  But this is why you have read me and continue to do so, and if this is your first time reading this blog, welcome, and good luck to ya!

So here is a picture of all the work I am "thrusting" upon myself this summer... lets see if it all actually gets done. ;)

See ya later! :)
