I’ve been a bit sewing crazy over the last week. A couple of “reconstructions” and some stuff from scratch.
Some old pillowcases my Grandma gave me…
into a skirt for little miss:
There’s another skirt too, but it got taken off before I got a photo…. will be here eventually!
This pink polo was a pain- sleeves were too big (bought it at one of my “bigger” times), and the interfacing on the collar and v at the front kept coming out… so i hacked it up, along with an old “pregnancy-stretched” supre boob-tube. I dont’ really like the end result (on the left) because it makes me look short and wide, but I like the top itself and what I did to it 
Also turned a disaster dress sewing effort from last year into a funky skirt, made a matching top and some v cool purple culottes - but no pics yet.

The top looks cool…
WRT how it makes you look, a v neck does look more slimming… maybe next time you could try the same sort of effect, but with a v-neck? But seriously, it looks great and I wish I had a working sewing machine and sewing skills as good!
