PR&P: Bias Remix

Week one of Project Run and Play season five is here!

 This week's challenge was to remix No Big Dill's Very Biased Skirt.

I decided to make a little button-up top with flutter sleeves paired with Box Pleat Shorts (tutorial here).

 I drafted the pattern for the top, and made the base from white muslin. Then I covered the front of the shirt with strips of two different fabrics cut on the bias. The bias strips are from white lining fabric and the other is a sheer sparkly fabric.
 The shorts are made from a blue linen blend with a fabric covered button (my favorite detail!)

There's a cute little pocket in the back from the same fabric as the button (Chevron in Aqua- Riley Blake Fabric)

I'll admit, I was a little stumped on this one when I first heard the season's themes. But I am really pleased with how it turned out.

 

Check out the Project Run and Play Flickr group to see everybody's outfits. There's a lot of fun creative women in the group! I can't wait until tomorrow to see the real competitor's outfits!
