Have you ever used a fabric that you loved so much you had to buy more and make it again. I can only think of a handful of times that I’ve done that as I am very much a use it all for one project type of person. However after I first used this snakeskin print stretch twill I knew I needed more of it.
It started off when I decided to make this dress for my upcoming high school reunion. I loved the fabric even more in person. When I was playing around with the dress I envisioned making pants with it as well in the future. I was able to order some matching thread and zippers to complete my dress look.
Then I ordered 5 more yards to give myself a second look. I love to use Pinterest to help me gather my ideas. In the end I came up with this lace up detailed look. I wanted a slightly rockstar inspired look but still something I could keep in rotation in my wardrobe. I sketched my idea out and sourced the patterns that I wanted to use.
I used Viki Sews Skadi for the pants and Manon for the blouse both with modifications.
For the top, the original pattern included piping to add to the contrast so instead I added eyelets to create the lace-up at the front and at the back instead of a seam I turned into a lace up detail as well. I also shortened the pattern to create more of a cropped look and self faced the hem. I love the new spin I created with this pattern.

I am very happy with how this look came out as all of my pieces have this lace-up detailing. I was able to pull from my inspiration and make something very unique to me. I really enjoyed working with this fabric and everything was fun to sew. I think the most tedious part was adding in the eyelets but was so satisfying once I started lacing everything up.
I still have about a yard left of the fabric and I am trying to think of what I should make next with the remaining!
