Something NEW after a long drought
I have a light summer top I love, that was so simple in design, I just bought a pile of light fabric, dropped the tunic I liked over the top and cut out. Very happy with the resulting three garments.

Bite Me and Cherry Blossom
I've taken to naming my new ones - this one has a label already called Vampire, so all it needed was some imagination in the construction and we have 'Bite Me'.
Added the red beads later above the wings - look like blood.
Below we have Cherry Blossom, Bite Me and Clouds over a Wheat Field.
and this little beauty is Cherry Blossom.

Reconstructions since 2010
Here's a long hippi dress I found at Veronica's closet - which I've cut down and readjusted to be a tunic top with additional shirring at the chest area.
This was a man's 'America's Cup' shirt and a woman's top - the centre part is the colour from another top, all to make a nice long tunic.
The ladies above and I had a great day, going to Veronica's Closet and getting cheap clothing to have a go at sewing together. It worked well. The outfits above are the result of that trip.
These dead vampires were made out of left over fabric, stuffed and painted.
This is a top and pullover combined.
Another man's shirt - lumberjack like - with sleeves cut off and cuffs made into side plackets, final result a waistcoat.
Love this top, reconstructed into a long tunic.
And the one below is a woman's crimped top, joined to a lovely hank of material like an oil slick below, and paua beads dotted around the middle.
I wear the jumper/tunic combination below a lot in the winter. The coloured red heart buttons around the neckline really add to it.
And this one was made entirely myself, so it's a construct rather than a reconstruct. Has musical instruments up the middle.
