where ya been? (part 1)

This past winter, my husband and I traveled to Seattle. And when I found this shirt in a thrift store back home, I had grand visions of doing a 4-part series of dresses made from traveling T-shirts (from places I've visited). One day I'll get to the rest of them. For now, welcome to Seattle!
Made from a man's T-shirt, I used elastic thread in the top and around the waist (for a 70s vibe).
I made a casing on the inside of the dress and added a drawstring made from the shirt leftovers. It's mostly for look rather than necessity (since the elastic thread keeps the waist gathered):
The top half of the dress is longer than I envisioned and bubbles out a bit too much. But with the placement of the Seattle logo and because I wanted to use the bottom of the T-shirt for my hem (since I'm lazy and didn't want to make a new one) well......that's why it turned out long. Some concepts work out and some are a work-in-progress. Next time we'll get it right.
and this photo serves no purpose, other than....I love a little girl in a ponytail.
Thanks Seattle for a great visit!

We enjoyed your sights.
and fine eating establishments.

* Some of you have asked about the Shortie tutorial. As you've gathered by now, my intentions and my schedule don't always coincide. I get distracted with new ideas and now we're in the process of moving. So it may have to wait till next summer. But we shall see!
