Reconstruction/recycling/refashioning contest - part 2

Well, never mind. After taking the dress completely apart, I don't have enough fabric for the blouse. In fact, I don't have enough fabric for anything in my pattern stash. Or rather, anything that doesn't cut the pattern of the fabric up brutally. I think I can squeeze this little top from Vogue 1100 out of it, but I haven't bought the pattern yet and it's sleeveless. I'm still in winter making mode. At least the short sleeved blouse had some sleeves. So, I'm abandoning this project for now. Thank you to those who left suggestions on the previous post.

    That's a cute little top! Love the little keyhole! Hard for me to think "warm weather wardrobe" with 6 more inches of snow today and sub-zero temps. You're so lucky to be in Texas!

    I'm with you on the winter sewing mode! I am curious about the spring trends/fabrics/colors/styles but I just can't see myself in them just yet...

    That fabric would look great with that top. You wanted that pattern anyway right? :) Sorry it didn't work out as planned....
