As mentioned
here, over the past several months I've organized my fabric and begun a variety of projects to utilize my "scraps"; embracing the challenge of using bigger remnants to fashion useful, fun garments including turning the remains from this
Toaster sweater into a pretty and much needed
gown. My love for the ease and versatility of Grainline Studio's Linden Sweatshirt has been evidenced more than once! I've used it to create
a trio of sister sweatshirts that incorporated silk as well as knits, a
workout top for Roo, a
soft, comfy tee for myself, and a
funky cropped top as well. When I saw the little sweatshirt pictured to the right in an Eddie Bauer catalog, I knew exactly how to use a few more bits. With fabric left from a previous version of
another Toaster sweater and
McCall's 7244 knit dress, I was ret tah go!

| Yep, when you're using remnants creative piecing is sometimes required!!! |

| I think I did good, y'all!!! A fun, usable play top from bits that would otherwise have languished on a shelf or ended up in the bin! |
Happy spring! Sew chaotically and enjoy your own - #scrapbusting! ~ les

Great use of scraps and ingenious piecing!
