Muumuuriffic!

You’re looking at a rather oversized house dress I scored for $1.  It’s label read “Smart Time” (?). 

The smartest thing I could think of to do with frumptastic piece (with a fun summer print…I must admit) was to turn it into a fun top.  🙂

First, I took it in 4″.  My sewing machine has been a bit wonky lately.  I keep having to adjust the upper and lower thread tension every time I use it.  Anybody know what that’s about?

Whirrrrrr!

Then, I lopped off that bottom tier!  🙂

Snnnnip!

And that’s it!  Now I have a fun summer top that pairs well with my GINORMOUS red shades!  🙂

I look like a fly in my big shades, but I love them all the same! 🙂

Cheers!
