When Recycled call

At least for 3 solid days I locked myself at home to finish my "Recycled project". That happened bcoz I don't know where to put all my fabric scrap. Beside these pieces are beautiful taffeta fabric. So I made the pattern.. I choose to make bustier/strapless top..whatever you can call it coz I thought is very sexy and good looking on most woman.

These two are the pictures of my sewing studio in Bologna-Italy.

Couldn't help myself not to dig 'em out of the wardrobe.

And this one is pic of my finish project.

Color me Bad dress

There were times when taffeta fabric is easy to find around where I live. But now I find it hard to look for . My collection of taffeta slowly slowly gone... meaning I used them all. Only remain some pieces here and there. Yesterday I had this idea to construct my left over into a dress. The colors are contrast to each other but I thought I give it a go. I chose this pattern (which I created) bcoz one dress can consist a few pieces so I don't need to have an intact fabric in that case. Most of the pieces comes from my (never worn) long pants.. the one I made for the sake of practicing and From the dress which (never even cross in my mind to wear it) I made to....errr.. practicing again ;D Here it is... I love the result. Anyway.. this dress makes me eager to dig out my fabric stash to upcycle them into something. Save the world ..right!?
