Give Me Something to Think About.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Matt and I went to a thrift store while in Vegas and I bought a few men’s shirts to alter (I like to get a medium or large so there’s more room for error, and also so there’s more fabric left over for other projects)

I fit the bodice to my waist and cut the shoulders at the seam (the shirt was so big that the sleeve seam started past the slope of my shoulders, giving me a perfect place to transform it into the cap sleeve)

I then used a bright embroidery floss to gather the neckline in opposite diagonal directions to expose just a little clavicle, and to gather the sleeves to get rid of any belling. I opted to use the same bright yellow floss on the sleeves to show the exposed neckline gathering wasn’t a mistake, but obviously part of the design.

I need to learn to start taking before pictures.
