Just My Imagination

My aunt sent me this cool but too-big shirt:


I used a Sparkfun shirt from Maker Faire and a silk scarf from the thrift store and made it into a dress:


I stitched down the sides of the shirt to make it more triangle-shaped and used the fabric from the sleeves to make it wide enough to be a skirt. I let the extra stick out as a sort of "tail." I traced a shirt that fit me onto the red Sparkfun shirt, cut off the sleeves, stitched down the sides, and attached two pieces of silk scarf to hold it up (they get tied together at the neck). I made a v-neck by wrapping some thread a few times around a few vertical inches at the middle of the neckline. I attached the top and the skirt to make a reasonably functional dress.

My room is terrifically messy.
