Colorblock DIY
WhatIWore: When I saw this wide shouldered pow of a color combination while thrifting last week, I knew it had potential. I also felt like if I messed it up, it wouldn’t be a big crying shame. I sketched up my ideas and got to work.
- First, I tried it on and marked (with a sharpie!) where I wanted to put the sleeve.
- Next, I got scissor happy.
- Then, I tried it back on and brought in the under arm/side seam by about an inch.
- Afterwards, I found some black piping in my sewing kit. Originally, I thought I’d just make some bias tape from an old black tee. But this worked!
- Sewed it on, turn and stitch in the ditch.
I’m not completely done- I’m still going to hem it up a few inches and I bought a great heavy metal zipper I plan to put on the back. I’m thinking of wearing it to a show during NYFW. Yes?! No?! Maybe?
