Couture Punk

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:

Instructions

I cut the skirt short and added a small amount of tulle to the lining. My daughter decided after I had everything together, she wanted the zebra lining to show at the bottom so I sewed a wide bias binding to the bottom to accommodate her wish.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Retro / Vintage, Funky, Whimsical


Materials

Polyester taffeta, tulle and polyester lining

What was your inspiration?

My daughter's desire for a bit of funk in the dress.

What are you most proud of?

The improvement of my hand sewing.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Stick with it.

Thank you all for your great encouragement. I did have fun with it, and she finally wore something I made with pride. Now she looks at every dress and says, "Mom, could you make this but in. . ." I may have made more work for myself.

It's beautiful on her. What a nice mom you are to change the dress a little to make her happy! It fits her very well. Love the sleeve addition.

I did have fun once I got to it. I thought my daughter wasn't keen on it because she began it as just my dress dummy. Finally, she said, "Why are you not finishing my dress?" That got me busy.
