UPDATE! This project was picked to be in the top 60 of Made by Rae’s Top Week 2010!
So I finally finished the project that I’ve been picking up and putting down for soooo long. And I love love love it!
I told you how Jaron had given me a few shirts to add to the craft collection. Well, this one I decided to put aside and make something for myself.
I’ve finally grown out of my hatred for plaid since my grade school days (took me long enough) and I just L-O-V-E this tank from Anthropologie, so I decided to tear this baby apart and go for the gold!
This is what I came up with!
My sister Aubrey was nice enough to shoot some pics for me. She hates this next pic, but I think it is so me, haha.
I couldn’t be more happy with the way it turned out!
It fits so perfectly, and I can’t wait for the weather to be warm again so I can wear it out!
When redoing this shirt, I literally ripped the entire thing apart, cut to size and sewed back together. It probably took me about 4 hours from start to finish – but it was definitely worth it!
And my favorite part is the pleated ruffles.
I can’t wait to bust out more patterns this month and make some clothes! I think a tunic will be next.
Next time I’ll show you the other BIG project that I’ve been working on. SO excited to share with you!
