megan's dress!

My friend Megan has made the cutest dresses by combining unwearable pieces.  I had this dress from Target that just didn't fit well.  I also had a black tshirt from (you guessed it) Target that had holes in the  bottom from one of my belts. 


Cut them apart, piece them together, and voila! a cute new dress.  This only took me a little over an hour and I was able to do most of it with Jack on the table watching me.   Great fun multi-tasking!  Thanks for the idea Megan!

I'm having a little trouble with the skirt bunching too much at the waist, i will have to work on that.  The skirt already had elastic so I used that, my first time working with elastic and it wasn't too bad.  The skirt was also a little too full so I closed the seam a bit in the back.  And to make Megan proud, this one already has pockets!!

The back of the dress had a smocked detail, so I cut that out, added the hem of the black t-shirt and made this fun little funky wrist band.  I don't know that I will ever actually wear it, but it was fun to experiment!
