Have you heard about
"Marisa"
and her blog
She's re-working a thrift store
dress every day for 365 days!
I was sew inspired that I decided to give
it a try . . .
on a MUCH SMALLER SCALE!
(This is the dress after a few changes which made it more suitable for me)

I bought this dress at my
local thrift store for $6 . . .
(this is a very bad photo!)
I love the fabric!
Like this Lily Pulitzer scarf:
But the neckline was very low.
I decided to re-work the dress by using the
belt (which I knew I'd never use)
to make a ruffle for the neckline . . .
(I cut the belt in half)
(Then, sewed two rows of basted stitching for gathering)
(I pinned & stitched the ruffle to the neckline)

I made a matching flower pin
(click here to learn how) &
I paired it with a white cardigan
from Old Navy.
Love it!
