I have really been into blog tutorials for redesigning old clothes into something new. A great skill for provident living. I went for my first try with this old skirt from my fat girl clothes. Hopefully I won't need it anytime soon.
I cut it up and re-sewed it into this little jumper for Lydia. I don't love it. But I'm happy with my first try. She'll be wearing it anyways. 
The thing that I love about refashioning is that it saves tons of time when you use the same hem. It took me about an hour to do this.

That is really cute. I'm bumbed I just got rid of some skirts that I know I won't be wearing. You'll have to show me when I'm out to visit. Or maybe I'll just let you do all the work for me.
Wow. I really like that. Ironically, I have kind of been in the same mind set. I just found a tutorial where you turn a man's shirt into a jumper. You basically turn the shirt around then use the buttons for the back of the dress. Kind of cool. Brad doesn't have any shirts he wants to give up but I have it filed in my memory bank. I love the jumper and her boots are soooo adorable.
I'm beginning to wonder if you're a real person...
Cute! I actually noticed her dress the other day and thought... cute.. I wonder where she got that. Even cooler that you made it. I'm determined to try the men's shirt into a jumper thing as mentioned above. It looks adorable and the blog said it's easy... but this is me we're talking about :)
