crafting for reality

I am an American. I am overweight. It's not thrilling but it's true. Because of that my clothes often cease to fit. so, I got inspiration from Wardrobe Refashion and decided to make some new clothes that do fit. Here is my palette/recycling pile:

Burrito (my lovely boy cat) liked it.
I figure I can get two good shirts out of the pile, at least. Here's the two for the first mashup:

They're both kind of peach, so I'm planning to have the plaid be the top/chest and the silk to drape over my midriff (because that's where I'm hiding my belly). Basically it should end up like a maternity blouse, but I think I'm ok with that. So, I'm currently ripping seams to reuse them.
