Jersey Girl

Hello January sewers!

I'm here with not the most exciting sew, but things I reckon I'll get a lot of wear out of.


This is a skirt from a dress, and a Plantain t-shirt. I made the dress a couple of years ago, and enjoyed it for a while but haven't been using it lately. I figured I'd like it more as a skirt, and I do! I unstitched it from the bodice and added a waistband with a 1.5" elastic inside. I've been wanting more skirts than dresses these days, especially midi-numbers, so I think I'll get a lot of use out of this guy.


Matching headband - classy!


The t-shirt is the Deer and Doe Plantain. I'd love to have a go-to t-shirt pattern. With some tweaking, I reckon this could be it - I think next time I'll raise the neckline a little. My changes for this were to shorten the sleeves a little (rock \m/) and the bodice - I'll put the bodice back next time though as this is a little short. The fabric is a nice jersey from the Organic Textile Company but I'd prefer it a little drapier. 


Until soon!
