2009 National Sewing Month Contest Submissions

Cais_Carly1.jpg - Carly J. Cais Loose blouson top fashioned from two XL men's sweatshirts and one L men's sweatshirt. All shirts were cut off straight across under the arms, and the bottom halves were used - two were sewn together and gathered to make the top half of the tunic, and the third sweatshirt became the bottom of the finished garment. I added buttons and buttonholes to make boatneck - and the entire piece can be worn at the waist as a drapey-pocket buttoned skirt, or turned upside-down and worn at the waist with all the buttons undone as a ruffled long skirt. The tops of the sweatshirts I have used in another refashioning project.
