Maxi Dress Refashion

So, I've had this tube top maxi dress for awhile.

I've seen a few DIY videos online for making a "asymetrical/fish tail/waterfall"

skirt or dress, and I thought I'd give it a try.

I liked this as a maxi dress, but I thought it would look sooo much

cuter as a "asymetrical/fish tail/waterfall" type of dress.

Seriously, what is this style called?? Different people call

this style different things, so I'm not too sure.

Anyway, this dress is made from soft jersey knit fabric,

so I just cut it and left it. I didn't hem it or anything because

I'm pretty sure that it will not fray or anything.

This time I took a BEFORE picture!! Yay! LOL!

And here is the AFTER:

I added the belt for a bit more shape.

I love how it turned out. :)

Chip and Dale

We went to the thrift store earlier this week and Mimi

saw these silky Chip and Dale pajama bottoms.

She was like,"Ooh, mommy! Chipmunks! I want that!"

At first I didn't want to get it. It was a women's pajamas.

But then I was like, I could soooo refashion that into something she could wear. :P

So.....I bought it.

I always forget to take a BEFORE picture whenever I

upcycle/refashion something. But here is the final product. I turned the

shorts into a "pillowcase" style type of top.

I kept the bottom hem so I didn't need to create a new one,

and I used this soft headband elastic for the strap.

I think it turned out pretty cute. :)

Oh! I also made this jewelry organizer the other day

using a picture frame and corkboard.

I love it. :)

Simple and Awesome. :)

January Sewing and Refashion

I didn't post any of the things I refashioned (upcycled) and sewn last month.

Just thought I'd share them with you now. :)

Refashioned my old sweater for Mimi. Added Lace in the front.

I bought this muumuu from savers and knew I wanted to make it into a top for myself.

I saved the bottom and made a halter dress for Mimi. :)

(Sorry no before pic.)

Now for sewing...

I made this henley inspired shirt for Mimi.

Love the little bow in the back.

Here is a simple tank I made with a polka dot pocket.

Love it.

And some yoga pants.

And last but not least, this cordoroy vest and shorts.

I haven't sewn anything in a couple of weeks, and I'm itching to make something.

Hmm.....what can I sew? What can I refashion? ;)
