I found this top at a garage sale for .50¢, how could I pass that up? If you know me, then you know I "NEVER" buy clothes at garage sales....even hubby was shocked, lol! Not because I think I'm too good or something...it's just I always go with a mission - Christmas, Frames, Fabric, Furniture, planting pots...I know weird huh!! So I just never focus on clothes. But my favorite color is yellow and it caught my eye.

How cute is this!! I even made a rosette pin to wear. I'll post about that later.
I wore this top with a black cardigan and pinned the pin onto the cardigan. It looked super cute!!
I thought about putting rosettes of the top but figure I would make the pin instead. I can change it up.

Well here is my Friday Fashion Redo, enjoy!
 |
| here is the plane jane before pic. |
 |
| The front and back hem had two small little holes, you know the ones where you 're always stretching and adjusting your top. So I cut off 3 lines off, which was about 2 1/2 inches. I used this to make my ruffles and a rosette for my pin. |
 |
| I then stitched up the hem. I didn't do a folded hem because 1. I didn't feel like ironing and 2. it was 2 in the morning. |
 |
| Here is what it looks like. It gave it a flowing effect at the hem which is cute. |
 |
| This is this stitch I used.....don't know what it's called but I used it. |
 |
| I ran my cut strip through to do a center stitch, then pulled on the top thread to give it a ruffle. |
 |
| Pinned my ruffle to the top. |
 |
I just folded the piece over where the shoulder strap started. Then I just sewed.
I also added a back stitch here and at the bottom where I stopped. |
 |
| I did this to both side. |
 |
Since the chest part was too wide and I didn't want a wardrobe malfunction
(i.e. nip slip, booby bounce, knocker-out) lol!! I sewed the two sides together.
|
 |
| See...doesn't it look much prettier? |
 |
Ugh.....then I notice this!! Some how my white thread got dirty!! Super annoyed, but too tired to do anything about it.
That is why I made the rosette pin, so I could try and cover it. But wearing the top you don't even notice the thread |
Well I hope you enjoyed my fashion redo!! Hope you have a great weekend!
