Orange Week Part 1:Dresses to T-shirts

 Hello Readers. I went all in on the color orange this week. I really like this color and I realized I had several orange pieces on my refashion rack and it was time to get them finished. Nothing was wearable so, I needed to get cutting and sewing.

I think if you are going to wear brights, you have to commit 100 % to it. I tried to go all in.

 

I found these wide leg orange slacks at a thrift store. They were new with tags, so were the matching sandals. I loved the wide leg style but the length was no good. 

 

I gave them a big cut in length and a new hem. 

 

This was much better. Now let's make sure I have some tops that match. 

 

I had this t-shirt dress with orange stripes that I did not wear often or ever. Lets make a t-shirt. I don't need to dress up for work anymore so I could really used a few casual t-shirts.

 

I cut the length I wanted. The best thing about t-shirts is that they don't fray. Even after washing and wearing repeatedly. I did not need to hem this if I did not want to. (Guess what? I didn't want to.) I knew I was going to tuck this in so no one would ever see the hem anyway. (Shh, don't tell.)

This mini-dress was wild and wonderful. I found it at the thrift store when I found the orange pants. I loved the bold fruit print on it. Let's make a t-shirt. 

This dress was an A-line shape so when I cut it shorter, I also had to cut the sides straight.

I put the right sides together and sewed down the sides to put them together. 

 

I loved these shirts and these orange dressy pants.

 

But my orange binge wasn't over yet. I will be back with more tomorrow. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself. 

***Year End Update***- I love bright colors and these are favorites.
