This was the final project for the other class I took at Cañada College Fashion Department, Designer Techniques in Sewing. This was such a fun class. We basically spent the semester learning cool and fun techniques you could do to a garment to move from the basic pattern to something that is more “you.” You’ll…
Coming off the last piece that I made, this is what I made with the leftovers. I had just enough to eke it out. The base is the Renfrew shirt by Sewaholic (one of my tried and true patterns) that I just hacked down the middle and shortened. I really like the overall execution. I did…
