Supplies: old blouse
Project: textured wedding shrug
A bolero or shrug is a nice accessory to your wedding (great for dances and dressy events). They add a bit of coverage and a touch of personal style.
Before it was an old blouse I never wore. I used this pattern I made for the shrug.
Once you can make the basic shrug (pattern), you can do many things to personalize it.
For this one, I cut strips of the organza from sleeves and gathered down the middle. I then made my own ruffled pattern down the front of the shrug by twisting them around and sewing them into place. I love the unique texture and it looks great with a simple dress.
Great tutorial. We all need waste management services, but we can also upcycle and recycle as much as we can.
ReplyDeletethis is really cool. I don't know a whole lot about sewing = I'm not so sure how you ruffled it like you did.
ReplyDeletereally cool tutorial/idea in general. Keep it up !
The dress looks cool and enticing. You really did well in recycling that old blouse. Recycling old cloths and materials can be very helpful to our environment. By the way, you look stunning on that photo.
