Canary Yellow Top Refashion


Today I'll be sticking to a simple format a la "Pattern Review" or "The Sew Weekly" again to make things easier:

Original Garment: This was and still is a canary yellow knit shirt that I found at a flea market.
Alterations: The original shirt had a really high neckline, which didn't suit me at all. So I drafted a new neckline and used the scraps from the cut-offs of the neckline to make a tiny bow that I fastened to the neckline.
Additional Fabric and Notions: None
Time to Complete: ~ 1 hour
Total Cost: 1 €
First Worn: Summer 2011
Worn With: My self-drafted retro jeans


Wear Again: I wore it several times but I now feel it is too clingy and see-through, so it has become a bit of a wardrobe orphan. I hope to wear it again soon, since I really like the colour and shape of it. 

Happy Sewing everyone!
