upcycled dress

upcycle - i think that's what they call it now ...

while out re-sale shopping - my daughter found this, thought it was cute & wondered if I could do anything with it for my shop. I thought that I could maybe cut it down and make a cute little girl's farm dress and so I did! here are the pics and it will be listed on my shop later...farmtomarket381.etsy.com

ladies denim dress from resale shop



beginning of project - cut dress in pieces



all cut out and all ready to sew - I even found some green check fabric in my stash that I thought would make cute ties for the back of the dress

drum roll.....here is the finished project! cute little peasant style farm dress with attached apron. let me know what you think. I just have to make a couple of fabric flowers for headband or maybe I will do a little scarf...

forgot to add - I also found an off white valance the same day that was used for a cute little apron on the dress. still have flowers from the top of the dress for cute flower patches on other projects!

another project finished - now off to make another dress.
