Here is a top that I re-made from sleeves of a grey tartan shirt, and combined it with a draping sheer black back piece. I also added a zipper to make it more wearable and put a little bit of edge it the garment.
Below are the final photographs displaying the top and the whole styling.

I had a lot of fun doing this project. I usually do not like making garments, but when it comes to destroying something and make something new out of it, I enjoy it a lot- since I do that quite often to my clothes anyway. I think I could have developed a lot more if I have enough clothes that I do not want anymore. I do have a few more pieces of old clothes, but then, the colour do not work well with each other. So for the sake of the outcome, I took a step back and kept it simple.
Bella and I both thought that we weren't going to make the deadline, but suprisingly I worked very fast and finished the top in just a few hours. I find myself focusing a lot more when I'm actually making something. I guess this is a step forward on time management. For the shoot it was just very relaxed because there was enough time for us to do that. We found this really empty and worn down place next the the Greenwich Emirates cable car and we thought it fits into what this project is and how my top looks like - Worn down and destroyed.
