REVAMP IT!

NATASHA BURNS AT 'Artistic Creations'

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 jacket

and 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!
