I have been following a number of blogs for quite some time now. I really love all of the creative people out there in the blog world. I love doing crafts and making things and I think its about time to share some of my creations with the blogging world, and to actually join in the fun as opposed to just being a spectator.
I love going to thrift stores! You just never know what you are going to find. It's similar to a treasure hunt!
I found this really cute dress at a thrift store a while back, which was way too big, but with a sewing machine and a bit of time I knew I could make it into something super cute!
I refashioned this dress a few months ago. I hope you like it!
 |
| Here is what it started out as, way too big. |
 |
| I took the sleeves in, as well as on top of the shoulders. |
 |
| I also took in about 4 inches per side. |
 |
| Here it is almost finished! |
The dress was too short for my taste so I added about five inches of black fabric to the bottom.
Here's the before and after!
I really love the way it turned out!
Wow! You did a great job on this!! Thanks for sharing :)
