I had an experiment languishing in my upcycle pile. It answered my questions but left me with something unwearable. Thankfully it was pink so it passed Pink Princess's inspection.
I used the back and front pattern pieces on the fold and flared them out from the waist down. I think it turned out really fun with the swirl already built into the fabric.

The second refashion was actually completed earlier this summer. I had a cotton slip that was too small up top so I finally got around to chopping it off, adding elastic, and boom it was done!
Do you wear slips? Do you think slips are weird??? Did you get any UFOS or refashions done this month? I had all sorts of big plans and you can see how well they worked out...
Keep sewing guys!

I love slips! I only have a black one though; I need to invest in and/or make a white/beige one. :)
Cute refashion and model :) I am a huge fan of slips, because it saves me the work of having to line skirts! I just buy them at the thrift store for less than $3 apiece, so I have several in rotation.
I love slips. I get so used to wearing them that I even tend to end up wearing them with lined skirts.
As far as my UFO pile/stashbusting...August was a fail for me in that regard. Must get back to stashbusting soon.
Yea! Another slip convert! They're really not hard to make. I have a grey slip that I wear all the time. It works for the dark and light clothes.
Thanks. Silly me, I've never thought to look for them at the thrift shops...
Yeah, I was expecting August to be much different than how it turned out. Oh well, we got done what we got done and the rest can wait.
