The other day Amber was invited to a party and the dress code was red & white. Doesn't sound too difficult, does it?! But it appeared that Amber had hardly any red/white clothes.
No problem I thought... I'll quickly applique a white t-shirt. And while I'm at it I'll whip up some sleeves too! Well, that last bit turned out to be a bit time consuming. It was one of those classic moments where I was sweating behind the sewing machine until the very last moment. Nothing beats a little last minute creative stress, right?! Right.
Anyway, it turned out rather cute:
It's difficult to see in this photo, but the jeans also got a successful quick make-over. I cut the trousers (that were too short) and then hemmed them while I sewed on some pretty trim and lace at the same time. Easypeasy and Amber has enjoyed wearing them many times already.
I think it looks lovely, you are very clever, I would be stuck for ideas, hope your daughter liked it :-)
