is having a 'REVAMP IT' style show!
She asked everyone to 'revive something
from your wardrobe or find an interesting piece of
clothing that just needs that extra 'something' to make it
FABULOUS DARLING!' So here is what I revived!
I started with a plain white jersey jacket!
A few doilies ....and,
lace table runners!
I brought out my stash of old linens!
I had actually revamped this jacket several years ago!
To revamp it, I took doilies and lace and started sewing them on in a random pattern until I liked where it was going. I did all the sewing by hand.
For Natasha's 'REVAMP', I took the jacketand added more beautiful patina lace pieces!
Look at the detail in this vintage crocheted piece.
Tea stained yo-yo's and vintage buttons.
Layers and layers of lace. Part of the table runner is on the back. I cut the table runner in half and sewed it to the back. I took the other half and cut it in half (vertically) and sewed those two pieces to each half of the front jacket.
Up close detail of the back edge.
Detail of one of the shoulders. See, lots of layers of lace!
I also added a bit more detail to the front, continuing the yo-yo detail.
The finished back!
And, this is the finished front!
I hope you have enjoyed my REVAMP IT fashion piece!

Such a pretty make-over...and a lovely way to make such good use of those old vintage doilies so that they are seen - after all they would have taken hours to make by hand back then...
Have fun wearing your one-of-a-kind fashion statement,
Niki
