Getting It Done! Completing Projects
Anna Walden, Point Loma, CaliforniaAnna has been completing projects. Here are a few recent ones.
First is a pair of Harem Pants made in plaid cotton flannel according to the instructions in the diagram. I made them smaller because my fabric was narrower but it turned out to be a good decision as they would have been too large on me.
Second is the Sweatshirt Dress, a up-cycle project. I cropped the sweatshirt, added a skirt in a Liberty knit borrowed from a dress pattern, made the collar from the leftovers, again borrowed. I drafted the sleeves in Garment Designer and appliquéd the lace using HeatBond and sewing machine.
The top below is from the Garment Designer pattern I made for the Kuba top project I made this past Fall in a Textile Design class at Mesa College in San Diego. When I made that project, I incorporated fabric that I had dyed using an Ice Dye method. When cleaning up recently,I found the extra fabric, and I sewed it up. I love this top.
