top week

When I saw Made by Rae was having this contest, I got really excited to try to make something for myself . I had been eying up a shirt I saw at Anthropologie, so why not try to make it. It should be like making clothes for the kids just a little more material right?

It wasn't to bad I bought a yard of jersey fabric and went to town. I wasted a lot of material because I was afraid I would cut it to small. I think I stitched the side seams about 3 or 4 times before it was a fit I liked. I just kept going back to the sewing machine and making it smaller a little at a time. I liked the frayed look so I went with it and had it frayed at the top and bottom of the ruffles.




make it wear it

Getting the right fit can be so hard! Love the color!

I have a weekly Thursday blog party especially for people to share things they've made to be worn. Stop by if you'd like!

I hope you see this and can help me. if so will you email me? paparazzimommy@yahoo.com (i tried emailing, but no response, hoping that was an old account though! lol)
