RTW refashion

I am slightly obsessed with this fabric: I loooove the colors, the pattern, the feel, and the fact that it doesn't wrinkle!


I found it at Target a few years ago. It was a bit too long for me and lacked shaping, but I just had to buy it for the fabric. I knew I would have to adjust it a bit, but I just didn't know how. I thought about shortening it, but the thought of cutting off some of that lovely fabric didn't sit well with me. So I decided to add elastic to the sides. The elastic added interest and allowed me to shorten it without losing any of the fabric!

KwikSew 3887 - A shiny leo

The fabric for this biketard was picked by my kiddo. She calls it her Rapunzel leotard for the colors. It's so shiny, you need sunglasses.

This is KwikSew 3887. It was so much fun to sew! It was quite straightforward; the only fiddly part was the elastic application. The golden band added an element of fun to this otherwise fairly easy sew.
