first refashion

Here it is, my first refashion. well, one that i wore in public anyway. The theme of James and Lindsay's Stag n' Doe was Overalls & rubber boots - on June 10th. The rules were clear You must wear one or the other to avoid paying the fine. To our surprise 90% of the party go-er's were in overalls of some description. due to the heat, there was no way i was wearing them as is, so i made a little refashion out of a pair that had a huge rip down the front leg. I got a lot of comments on my pair. Here's what i did.

Cut off the legs
Ripped out the crotch
folded crotch pieces over so they were flat - sewed
sewed the side pockets closed (overalls have side pockets so you can access your pants pockets underneath)
added some bling to the bottom with lace
sewed some pleats in the mid back section to take in the waist and excess around the tush

today was an incredible summer day - perfect for clothesline shots.
