Orange Week Part 3

 Hello Readers. I was in the mood for bright colors. This combo seemed like a great combo. I just had to get the pink shirt to fit a little better. 

 

Before and after.

 

I found this pink top at the thrift store way back when I had just seen the "Barbie" movie. The pink color and the puffy statement sleeves really caught my eye. The shirt was a little loose and too low in the V-neck. If I leaned forward it was like a free show. I wanted to fix that and a more fitted top would look better with the loose pants. 

 

 I saw this color combo on Pinterest and was inspired to put the pink top and orange pants together. 

I wanted the shirt more fitted and the V-needed to be higher. I decided to sew a new seam down the front. That would fix both problems. 

I turned the shirt inside out and folded the front in half. That way I could sew straight down the front of the shirt. I cut off the excess fabric from the inside of the shirt. 

I also sewed new side seams just to take a little more from the body of the shirt. 

I made the waist area just a bit smaller.

 

 The new fit of the top looks better with the loose wide leg pants and the V-neck isn't as low anymore. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.

My older son just asked my why I was dressed as Dora the explorer. Use caution with this color combination.
