Taylor Swift Inspired Microfashion

Today, I’m shaking it off with the Sew In Tune Series hosted by Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy Crafts and Melly Sews.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesI wanted to sew something just for fun this time.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesAn outfit inspired by Taylor’s Swift’s “Shake It Off” music video was just the ticket!

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesNothing fancy, or complicated. Simple sewing with a Taylor Swift flair.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesTaylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesI meshed bits and pieces from some of the outfits she wears in her video.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia Creates Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesPut it all together and you get an outfit that is Nat approved. Really…I had to hide the clothes from her until I was ready for pictures. She was begging to wear everything, even before I was done sewing! ha!

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesTutus, kitty sweaters, sparkly/shiny pants, stripes…can you blame her?

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesI liked the cut off, deconstructed look of Taylor’s kitty sweater in the opening ballet rehearsal scene, so I sewed up Made By Rae’s Flashback Skinny Tee in sweatshirt fleece fabric. There is pretty much no give in the fabric, so I went up a size. It ended up being still a bit tight. I wish I had gone up two sizes, as it just barely fits her. She’ll probably grow out of it in a month, but it comes together so fast, that if she begs for another, I know I can whip up a larger size really quick. The paper pattern is super quick to assemble too! Just four pages to tape.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesI didn’t mess with ribbing at all. I just sewed the T-shirt and sleeves all together, rolled the sleeves up and tacked them in place, and then widened the neck hole a bit. I cropped the bottom of the sweater to be like Taylor’s and then painted a kitty face on the front with some freehand freezer paper cuts and fabric paint.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesFor her pants, I grabbed some shiny dance knit fabric from Jo-Ann and used the Go To Patterns leggings pattern to whip her up some new leggings.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesThen I made a black and white striped bow headband to be similar to Taylor’s trucker cap from the video. The bow was a little too heavy, because I used a canvas-y fabric, so when she danced she kept shaking IT off…as in the head band. ha ha.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesTaylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesTo top everything off, I whipped up a simple tutu for her. I sewed it a little differently, than past tutus/tulle skirts and  I used a mesh tulle from Jo-Ann. It’s stronger, thicker, stiffer, and less delicate that normal tulle. It was perfect for making the tutu flounce outward.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia Creates Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesNatalie loves her tutu so much, she has worn it daily since I made it for her!  I am going to make her more and am thinking of doing a quick tutorial later this week.

Taylor Swift inspired microfashion fashion // Delia CreatesThat pretty much wraps up her T. Swift look!

If you want to see the other song inspired sewn looks from the series (say that five times fast) it runs daily for another week or so HERE!

Have a shake-a-licious day! 😉

    BEAUTIFUL. As always! Really. I love each and every piece. That T Swift video really is inspiring. I keep thinking that a golden track suit is soo cool. Not really, but still…

    Cute, cute, cute, cute and CUTE! Oh my goodness is she a darling. And those pants. Oh how I wish that Taylor Swift fashion translated more easily into tired, overworked mommy. I’d love to rock me some kitty sweaters and gold leggings!

    I love how the outfit all works together in a way that you may have never considered (had it not been for Taylor Swift).

    The denim shirt looks fab under the cropped sweatshirt. Had never thought of that stylish idea.
    Guess what my daughter will be wearing tomorrow?

      Thanks Olu! I’m not into the cropped shirt trend, for her or me, but with a denim shirt underneath, I’m in love! I bet your daughter will be darling.

    omg. This is ridiculously cute. I love how much she loves it, and that it’s cute and girly without being princess pink.

      Thanks Tara! That’s my style to a T. If you ask her though, she could do with more pink, pink, pink and pink. So I made her a pink tutu the second go around (for the tutorial). She had a mini heart attack. haaa…

    Oh this is so good!! GOLD leggings?! For real, no wonder she was begging for them! This look cracked me up because you can tell in the pictures that she is just so into it all, which is always fun. Great interpretations!
