Day 287: Hibiscus Dress

Okay, you guys!  Pay attention, because what you’re about to see is my personal FAVORITE refashion to date!  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂

It all began with this $1 skirt.

You’ve seen a lot of skirt to dress refashes on this blog, but not quite like this.  🙂  I put the skirt on my dress form like so:

Then I sewed a line where I pinned out my future sleeve!

Then I sewed another line next to the first one!

I made a cut between the two lines, like so:

I tightened up the non-sleeve side to make my new dress more fitted.

I cut off the excess fabric, and now I have this ah-maz-ing new frock!!!  🙂 🙂 🙂

I wore my fabu new dress to spend some quality/quantity time with a delightful friend from out of town who sneakily snapped the following pic.  🙂

Cheers!
