Ally found this lovely selection at our local Goodwill. If you have seen my previous post - The Refashionistas - you probably already know where this is going.
TIME TO REFASHION!
 |
| Ally wasn't happy I was taking photos. But I was like, "Dude! The blog readers are gonna wanna see this masterpiece!" You are welcome, readers. |
The sleeves came off...
I started pinning away! This is a good time to mention that I did this refashion all by myself. I need to practice a bit... But it wasn't too awful for my first attempt.
I took in each side by about 3 inches. The tag said small... but that's not a small to me. Oh, well. More sewing means more fun!
I got bored and began acting like a nut. No surprise there.
Being a semi-professional (HA!), I quickly resumed the task at hand.
We decided to cut off about 9 inches from the bottom. Later, I turned this into a thick sash.
I (finally) convinced Ally to help by ironing down the hem around the bottom of the dress. She didn't do too badly... But some practice wouldn't hurt.
Just kidding! Love you, sis. :)
After sewing up the hem at the bottom, we were done! Yay!
How cute is this dress?! It's like, WAY cute.

You guys, I think I'm totally addicted to refashioning now. I have only one more dress (Emma's) to do before I need another project...
I'm sure Goodwill will be seeing a lot of me!
If you need another project, you can make a dress for me! Once my college classes slow down a bit (Haha) I want to start refashioning some old clothes :)
