Day 319: Rose Garden Dress
Just about any thrift store I go to is brimming over with boring skirts that happen to have awesome prints, such as this one right here:
Aaaand this is why you don’t wear a white bra with a black Tshirt. :/
I put the skirt on my dress form, inside-out, and began taking it in.
Pinning!
Then, I ran it under the needle, like I do! 🙂 This left me with a big scrap that I sewed into a long tube by sewing a line about 2″ from the original seam.
Whirrrrr!
I cut it out, turned it inside out, and closed up the one raw edge (the other edge was fine, as it was the original hem).
No raw edges here, folks! 🙂
Next, I took the tube, folded it, and stitched it to the front of what was about to be my new dress!
A Halter Top in Waiting!
I tossed on a sash and was ready to dash out the door! 🙂
Look! I found my snood! 🙂
While out and about, I ran into a few fun people, like my beer snob pal, Alisha. 🙂
Hi Alisha! 🙂
Cheers!

Happy Sewing!
I follow you everday and look forward to seeing what you come up with. You look cute in anything. I would like to see you make a t-shirt dress that is edgy. They have some on this website. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=387443.0
