Refashioning Part 2

OK. consider me hooked on refashioning. I was clearing a few things out of my closed yesterday and found a dress I purchased a few years ago. It’s a great color and weight for fall in Florida. I wore it a couple of years, but it was a little short. It was fine when I was standing, but I found myself tugging at the hem when I was sitting.

Note to self…pay close attention to where the tab of the zipper is located before cutting. I could have saved myself some time had I not had to put in a new zipper.

  1. It's a great print... glad you could turn it into such a pretty and wearable skirt.

  2. Cute! I think the key to refashioning may be starting with a good print. (And you working wonders with your sewing machine!)
