FROM TEE TO PEPLUM

finally getting caught up with a little sewing, a short update on my fitted blouse for P.R. I didn’t realize the difference in the time zone so while I’m trying to wind everything up thinking I have over an hr to post, the time was up on their side, & because I haven’t been  a member for 3 months yet it wouldn’t let me send an email oh well carry on lol!

so moving right along, today I took a yellow T-shirt from the closet & decided to turn it into a peplum top

I measured from the top of the shoulder  down to where I thought the ruffle would look good  

then cut, leaving the hem in the bottom so I wouldn’t have to hem it

then I stretched the cut off bottom part making it wider so I could put a little gather to it to create a ruffle

then run a  gathering stich

then attach back to the top,creating a peplum look, I think it needed  a larger tee to make a fuller ruffle& maybe go up further to achieve the look I was going for ,I only ha a picture to go by on Pinterest so I’m sure there is two different sizes involved so maybe I’ll attempt it again later on

I’ve been thinking about what to make for the sew your own wardrobe challenge, the word “plan” comes to mind, so I think I’ll try to plan out my projects one Season at a time
