Santabox - or what to do with halve a meter fabrics

 

This year at Bündchenqueen you could buy a santabox with eight halve or full meters of fabric. I bought the halve meter box and, since it is not easy to make a full garment with just halve a meter I thought I would share all the projects. The fabrics were a preset color combination and different fabric types would be delivered.

Finished

Fabric 1, The burgundy wool will be a coat from Burda 06/2020. I will take off the hoodie and line the coat with a jersey from stash (I also used halve a meter).

 

Fabric 2 and 3, The white musseline will be a blouse, the cuffs and collar will be made from the big rib fabricFabric 4, The burgundy jersey will be a skirt. 

 

Fabric 5, The glitter mustard colored summer sweat will be a vintage pinafore dress from Marion January 1967.

 

 

Fabric 6, The burgundy french terry will be a salopette. 

 

Fabric 7, Mustard openwork jersey will be a shirtdress.

 Fabric 8 is a printed jersey from familyfabrics.nl. I'll combine it with a dark raspberry pink jersey and will make this gorgeous dress. The top will be raspberry and the gathered skirt in the print. So this is a bit of a cheat since I used a halve a meter for the skirt (and the ties).
