I picked up this little lovely at a thrift shop for $2. With about 30 minutes of time I made it into something much cuter!
We had a BBQ with Sean's classmates at our house on Sat and I wanted something 'new' to wear, so with just a few cuts of the scissors I made this cute little dress.
I just cute a scoop neck, cut off the sleeves and bottom, sewed elastic in the waist and made a quick little belt. The belt is just braided strips of the jersey knit and a little ruffle flower {hard to see in the unfortunately} I'm linking this project to:
Between Naps on the Porch , Making the World Cuter, The DIY Show Off, The Persimmon Perch, Skip to My Lou, Keeping it Simple, A Soft Place to Land, Today's Creative Blog, Blue Cricket Design, Fireflies and Jellybeans, Beyond the Picket Fence, Remodelaholic, Tatertots and Jello
I would love to go to rummage sales with you and listen to your thought processes and then have you narrate your ideas as you create a refashioned dress. Seriously! I think I could do it, if I could just operate a sewing machine.
