So lately, I've become obsessed with making old skirts and dresses into new ones.
I made two khaki skirts longer and got rid of a weird slit up the middle of one of them and then, I did the impossible. I made a bridesmaid dress re-wearable! Ho HO HO!!!
Here is the dress four times, we wore 'em for Julia's wedding in 2010, they were such a steal too - $40 ABS formal dresses from Loehmann's. Ahh, how I miss Loehmann's.
And now, wa-la! A new skirt to go with those green and yellow shoes I can never find anything to wear with (but is it too matchy matchy?!)
I look bowl legged here.
Hooray! Yippee! Next step: a stop to Forever 21 for some cheap accessories to revitalize some of my old stuff. My friend Sara from my CMC days taught me to sew once- well, she basically sewed a top for me, I picked the fabric and style, but she was the first one to show me how to sew a straight line... and then, I've had one 2 hour class and everything else has been experimentation, well I think Sara would be proud of me. I think so!

Very proud!! You're doing better than I am at sewing these days!
AWESOME! It looks great on you! I'm inspired to do the same :)
Is this Sara Y? I didn't know she had sewing skillz!
Obviously, that was Gena, not Ian, but I'm too lazy to erase, sign out, sign in, and repost.
Gena! Hilarious! I had a sewing machine in my dorm room!
