Two Become One

This is a thrifted Old Navy dress that I loved but didn't fit. The bust was not quite....busty enough for me. I love the fabric though, beautiful pattern, and it's 100% silk! Old Navy is full of surprises. I used the fabric of another dress to make a new bodice and I don't have a picture of it because I started this project about a year ago and didn't think to take pictures then. I cut off the bodice of this dress and attached the new one, plus a black satin ribbon around the waist and made a whole new dress!

Two-toned Flower

Can anyone guess where this flower came from???

Yup, an old pair of work out pants!

I simply cut out the stripes on the side, made them into a ruffle and then made the ruffle into a flower :)

Flowery Cardigan

My awesome mother-in-law recently lost a lot of weight (60 lbs if I'm not mistaken, yay MIL!) and she had a whole closet full of her "fat" clothes. I scoured through them and found a few articles with potential. This is one of them:

I cut out the blue part and took in a good three inches on either side and voila!

I love it paired with this skirt.
