Project With Baby Lock #1

I believe that a lot of people who love sewing can relate to this statement: If it does not fit me, and I love the fabric, I will save it for another future project. This statement would be my motto for the following few projects.I would like to suggest some ideas on how you can transform your fabrics into something beautiful and wearable.

I fell in love with this black, beautiful, floral fabric, but I did not realize that the shrinkage of this fabric could be more then what I expected. After the final pressing, I was so excited to wear my suit, but I could not because the skirt shrank so much that it was not wearable. I started to look for a fabric to recreate my skirt and it took me a while before I found a black, 100% silk which could compliment the original fabric.
Here is a result.






This is the original suit. The following pictures will show the step-by-step transformation.

Happy experimenting!
