Bolero!

I pulled some clothes out of my drawer last night that I could no longer wear.  Included were a navy blue t-shirt (too short) and a multi-print spaghetti strap top (stained).  They are both dark blue and the spaghetti strap top has (had, now) a ruffle on the bottom.  I loved the fabric on the top which is why I didn't get rid of it.  I was thinking of transferring the ruffle to the t-shirt and making some adjustments to the neckline and arms.  During the night, while I was half asleep, I redesigned my original idea and decided to make a bolero.   I would use the ruffle to edge the t-shirt after I cut it.  I could even use the contrasting fabric to do something fancy with the sleeves. 

At this point I've decided not to do anything with the sleeves because I like them as they are.  I may add some of the contrast fabric later, time will tell.   My first attempt at re-purposing cost me nothing except a little bit of time.
