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 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
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!!)
