Meet my delicious zucchini:
Made without screaming.
Since that is out of the way this is my latest refashion:
It was only 97 cents.
But that isn't even the best part, I had a $10 off $10 coupon, and paid 58 cents for this and a lovely green wrap sweater.
Blah, blah, blah
Here we go.
Can you see the tree? Maybe if you squint? My hair usually covers half of it. |
I'm working on my terribly bad posture. I am. This is supposed to be a shot of the sleeves. |
So the shorts are navy, not black. |
I cut the sleeves and the mock turtle neck off. Took in both sides by 1 1/2 inches. I finished the neckline with clear elastic. I did not finish the sleeves. I reverse appliqued the stripes onto the sleeves to give it a little texture and kept going when I maybe should have stopped (surprise, surprise). I also reverse appliqued the tree onto the back which I LOVE, and the wolverine slash mark stripes down the front which I do not. Oh well, I'm sure I'll wear it a few times then add something else to it. That's usually how it goes.
In wrapping up Me-Made-March news, I have a couple more pictures.
Day 31M6321 |
I took everyone's advice and ditched the large belt. (This is my obi belt scrunched up for photo purposes). I also wore some stilettos to girly it up. I like it better, but still not a lot. I also checked to make sure the waist hit at the right spot, and it is exactly on my natural waistline. I did make sure that the belt edged higher, instead of lower.
Day 28 Self Drafted Pencil Skirt |
I loved Me-Made-March. I wore my selfmade clothes everyday with only a couple redos. I didn't realize I had such a closet to work with!
A couple things I learned:
It's really really hard to take a picture of yourself every single day. Before I knew it it was after dark, or how about the day my kid puked on me? Not everything needs to be remembered.
I can wear a dress. All day long. (All day after the heavy cleaning and working out).
Actually, I really like wearing dresses all day. It's a lot easier to wear a loud (printed) dress with no jewelry than a T-shirt, jeans, and coordinating jewelry to try to look put together. Who knew?!
That pencil skirt is awesome. I agree about wearing a dress as opposed to putting together separates. Congratulations on finishing the month!
ReplyDeleteI love zucchini and your fun pencil skirt. (What a sentence!)
ReplyDeleteAnd is this the signature "evening tree" shirt? I like the wolverine slash marks.
There's nothing like a sewing blog to help you analyze your posture. But then, bending over the sewing machine and ironing board doesn't improve it any.
I love day 28. I especially love how your necklace is attacking your right boob. This is how ALL of my self-timed shots come out. :)
