I used to have a long sleeved white funked out peasant blouse, but the long sleeves seemed too heavy on me, so I converted it to a short sleeved version. I do like this version much better.

This is really a ¨wardrobe refashion¨ of an emmeline apron I did a few years ago which used a pretty overpowering over-retroed fabric. My husband couldn´t eat his dinner while I was wearing it. So I made it into a half-apron. Its still a bit too retro, but as a half apron, its not quite as overpowering hopefully.

This is a wardrobe refashion of a brown knit collared top. I had intended to make it into a sewn version of the Cavern cardy on Ravelry, finishing it off with handsewing like in the Alabama Chanin book. However, I rather liked how this looked with the collar and sleeves cut off, so I left it like that (sides taken in though). So, another time for the Cavern cardy. I didn´t hand sew the edges as I preferred this with a clean, unadorned edge. The ¨before¨ pic is below.
