Day 314: Bibliophile Jacket
Lately, I’ve really gotten back into reading. So of course I loved this dress! :)
What’s to love?
I know…it looks like a big mess, but look a bit closer…
Books!
How whimsical and cute is this bookish print?!?! I loves! :)
Unfortunately, this dress was just waaaaay too busy for my taste. Time to pare it down a bit!
These guys absolutely had to go!
Party Crashers!
I removed the top part of the dress from the bottom part, right along the serged seam so it wouldn’t fray…
Snip!
I also snipped off those belt loops.
Hot. Snipping. Action.
I turned the top part of the dress around, using the zip-up back as the new front of my new jacket. :)
Perfect art show attire! :)
I wore my new jacket to check out Christine Cannon’s show at McMaster Gallery. You can see more of her work online right here. :)
The artist and her work! :)

You’re great! The only question I have is, what do you do with all the left over fabric?
Just wondering:)
