Clematis Yoke Dress
Earlier this spring I saw this GREAT upcycled t-shirt on Pinterest by the brilliant Cal Patch (have I told you I fell down the Pinterest rabbit hole yet?) and decided I NEEDED to make one for myself pronto!
So, a few weekends ago I put down my needles to modify a WhiteWash dress I got this spring at the Flax Barn Sale! (Have I told you that right out of college I worked for Flax, which is based outside of Ithaca?)
I grabbed a size B crochet hook, a skein of Juniper Moon Findley in Bittersweet, the pattern (which Cal helped me find!), and got to it... in a few short hours I had my new favorite summer dress !
Thanks Cal, for enabling me to get this done... and Maya for the super sweet photo shoot this morning (with eggs!)

Looks great! Very neat idea ~ Justine Lark
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try this around the neckline of a plain t-shirt! But first I'd need to learn to crochet...
ReplyDeleteWow! I love this! Is the pattern somewhere now?
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks so much! The pattern is from the September/October 2009 issue of Crochet Today! magazine, which is out of print, but it sounds like they are working on getting an electronic version of it up on-line... I'll let you know when it is available. In the meantime, maybe your library has a copy?
DeleteAmazing idea!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely - and nice photos too :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
I like it a lot. Can you tell us where you found the pattern?

DeleteAwesome work, Laura! Love your Adorn/Adorn Anew patterns, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is from the September/October 2009 issue of Crochet Today! magazine (where I am an editor). I'll get the pattern available digitally, and post to twitter (and here!) when it's online.
Thanks for resurrecting the pattern, Laura!
Thanks to you for your quick response! It really is a super fun pattern to make, the possibilities are endless : )!
DeleteI LOVE it! and you look so pretty in it!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite summer dress too! A signature piece.
ReplyDeleteI love the orange spider web part of the shirt. You have such a great taste in clothing.
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeletethis dress was posted on Fiberfarm.com and they linked to this post of yours. I just went to Crochet Today and while I did find the pattern for Upcycle T-shirt, I didn't see any indication of the pattern being available electronically. Mind you, this was my first visit to Crochet Today and I may have been looking in the wrong place, did you ever hear back that it was available? Thanks much! Fran
hi! I think Crochet Today is looking at reviving the pattern with Cal.. if not, perhaps Cal will release an updated version this spring? I told her I would test crochet for her if she did! I'll post here when I have a link!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will keep an eye out!! Fran
