#Cindybratake2 The Challenge was to find a leopard print that was not the brown tones we know it to be, after all I had that in my stash already. I wanted to mix it up and find leopard print that was bolder in color and not the usual. I searched high and low online for a knit in a fun color. I then when back to all my containers of fabric and struck gold! I had just about 2 yards of the green blue leopard print in a knit. Don't even ask me where I got it from or how long I've had it, your guess is as good as mine. I rarely use knits so I must have bought this because of the odd color.
I knew I wanted to use the bra pattern from my previous post to create a dress for Mori and I just picked the first simple skirt pattern to use for he bottom. This skirt pattern is a little on the short side so if you have it in your pattern stash be mindful of that. The mash up is a easy one, I just added 4 inches to the length of the bra pattern and attached the skirt, easy peasy!
I love this sporty dress, it's prefect for a casual day of fun in the sun!
So the moral of this story is, yes you can use a bra to make a dress
and leopard comes in different colors!
Until next time peeps.
Super cute and she looks great in it!
ReplyDeleteYeah that's definitely one for the kiddies!
DeleteSooooo cute! LOVE how you combined the 2 different leopard prints and made up your own pattern out of the bra pattern and skirt. I'm about to try my hand at bra-making and look forward to this possibility in my future, too. Love all your makes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather! I am going to give real bra-making a try with the frilly fabrics and all. I am going to be learning for a feature in my magazine and I'll be sure to post it.
DeleteWowsa, amazing mash up. Great job and much love
