Day 319: Rose Garden Dress

Day 320: Beyond the Beige 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:

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.

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!

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.   🙂
