I stumbled across this challenge a few weeks ago on the Made by Rae blog and really wanted to jump right in! "A "selfish" sewing challenge to create a Spring Top" as was explained on her blog. I mean, how often do YOU actually sew for yourself? In my case, it's not that often. I knew I didn't want to use a pattern but instead turned to my DIY and re-purposing skills. :)
I took this orange "boxy" long sleeved tee style top from banana republic that was on the outs to a second hand store.....


and with a little snip up the middle.....



and a crop of the sleeves......



cut a rounded edge and gathered it for interest.....



added some ruffles around the entire hemline and up to the neckine by cutting strips from another tee. A dainty tie to pull it together in the middle......


and what top isn't complete without these popular rolled flowers which I added some beading too...


and a once boxy top that had seen it's day, is now flirty, foxy and ready for Spring! 


and it's all knit tee material so I just gets popped into the washer and dryer! gotta love that! ;)
