....









This started out as a dress. I cut off part of the bottom and made it into a little girls skirt (too big for the intended recipient:( ) I loved the pockets and thought they would look great on a skirt!

Then I took the remaining top of the dress and the cut off portion of the bottom and sewed them together. I used the original side vents of the dress and incorporated them into the shirt. Nothing special. I was really just trying to use up scraps. I'm not particularly pleased with this project.

  2. You're kind of a genius at refashioning things. And you make it look so easy! I'm pretty sure if I tried that, I would end up with rags.

  3. I love this and think it's special even if you don't. You really have a 'knack' for repurposing. You make take the original and make it better!!

  5. AH, so clever! If I send you materials, will you just make me something? I'm useless at anything that involves a needle, thread and some DIY craftiness. Awesome skirt!
