Tablecloth to Top 2

 Hello Readers. Yesterday I posted about a shirt I made from a tablecloth. I liked it and I was super happy with it but what about the scraps? Let's talk about them. They were almost a shirt already. So... I made a second shirt. 

My second shirt from this tablecloth. 

I made this shirt first. 

The table cloth pattern looked great on the back of the shirt. 

This piece is what was left from the tablecloth when I was finished with the first shirt. When I looked at it I thought it looked like a halter style top. 

I cut the top bits off so I could get to the sewing machine. 

I turned all the cut edges under and stitched them down. 

I needed a string of some kind to tie around my neck. I sewed some bias tape closed and used that. 

I made a narrow casing across the top of the front of the shirt. I put the string through and tied it around my dress form's neck. This was coming together pretty well. 

I needed to close the back somehow. 

I used elastic to gather the top edge and sewed the 2 sides together. 

Thanks for reading along with this accidental adventure. Now, go make something fun for yourself.
