I recently was able to go to the Eras concert in Sydney.

I had discussed my options with my daughter and she suggested that the alteration of this dress into a top would be ideal.

Changing it into a top would fit with one of the dress styles worn by Taylor Swift . I cut it up to hip length and using the extra fabric I added wide sleeves to the short sleeves on the dress. I also added a frill to the front edge , the good thing about embroidered mesh is it doesn’t fray.

The top was easy to make and comfortable to wear for the time we were there. I also made the pants I am wearing, they are double layer pink silk chiffon. I used the same elastic waist pants pattern that I have used recently. V1914

I am pictured in my electric wheelchair this enables me to get around safely now . It is faster than my scooter and more supportive so I tend to use it most of the time. It does mean that I now need special transport to go anywhere not local . But it is good.

My life is all about compromising now in so many ways .

Happy Sewing ,

Sue 🙂
