Remember
these old pillow cases I have? I decided to make something with them. I love old sheets because they're so soft and I find lots of cool prints at the thrift stores. It was hot as hell this weekend and I needed some summer shirts. Love the galaxy print on this particular set.
Fidel, my studio mate, checking out the fabric.
Pattern paper scraps, lots of cutting.
I made a simple shirt pattern, just 2 pieces with a racer-back.
Cutting out the pattern using weights to keep it all flat and stable.
Cut out fabric pieces. I had to piece together the front because the paper pattern was wider than the fabric.
The front and back sewn together with a rolled hem.
Cutting out bias strips from the scraps to finish the arm holes and neckline.
Sewing the binding on.
Done. Super easy, fast to make, nice for summer heat. Loose fit with a longer back and cropped front. I made 3 versions in different fabrics in an afternoon but this is my favorite.
Lovely Becca modeling the goods.
