Before and After

This was a fun project! The skirt and shirt are hand-me-downs from my niece. It's a cute outfit but by the time it would fit any of my girls I'm not sure they would wear it. I LOVED the fabrics in the outfit though.


So, I set out with my scissors and an old pattern to use for sizing and turned it into a cute little dress for Carolin.


I used the existing neckline, sleeves, buttons and buttonholes and the tiered skirt, though I had to shorten the middle tier.


I don't know about you, but I find re-purposing SO very rewarding.  Especially when it works.

(My niece liked what I did to her outfit.)

    So cute! I love re-purposing, too, but I'm not quite as good at it as you yet!

    This is really cool, and you wouldn't be able to tell that it used to be two pieces before...neat idea!

    I love it! Sophie thinks it should be for her. She said, "Does it go down to my toes?" :p
