Really pleased with this upcycle sewing project.
It's 2 men's shirts (the black and the gingham), and one ladies blouse (the white one with embroidered trim) combined to make a totally new ladies tunic length blouse.
I added a dash of red here and there using scrap fabric.
The concept comes from Paganoonoo's "The Cindy Blouse" pattern though I didn't use the fabulous curved front piece. With the added fussiness of the fancy collar and cuffs I figured it would be too much this time.
I really like the way this turned out so it is highly likely I'll eventually use the pattern again and make the more decorative curved addition to the front.
Have you ever tired refashioning something old into something new?
It's rather fun!
