P52 :: Wk1 (take2)

 ok so i really wasn't happy with my

entry for week 1 of Project 52 Weekly Fashion Challenge
it didn't have the creative edge that was part of the challenge
& that wasn't a good fit for me!

but that was yesterday ....
but today the lovely nicole decided to extend the deadline

 well if you know me & there is still time left ... i will do something!

so one of my original ideas was to

kind of create my own geometric fabric

by layering some jersey knits

i was the runner up
yay!!!
+++++++ 

 i had thought i'd do something with a carefully mapped out

grid but ..... well short on time .... again

& the thought was to just eye ball it

not a grid but i did sew lots of angled straight lines

& they do add up to a geometric grouping!!

i cut the pattern out .... twice

two different colours for the front & back

then i sewed the two layers together with all these criss-crossing lines

 then there was the cutting

this actually took the most time

pinching up the top layer & cutting

its all a bit raw edged but i figure with a wash it will curl up

i don't mind a deconstructed look

 pieced together

pattern is Seafarer T shirt by

Sew Much A Do

this is my 'take two'

yep

its got that 'creative' input that was missing

happy now!!

(ps ..... chopping away did feel a little year 9 garment-construction-class-ish!!)
