refashions

An old 80's sweater that I turned into a sweater dress for Nani. It needs work. The flower didn't turn out the way I had imagined. I think I'm going to take it off and put black ribbon across the bottom and maybe the collar. At least she's so cute that she makes the dress look better. She wore it on Sunday with a dark grey lace slip underneath and her hair was brushed. Brushing hair usually helps:)


This skirt became....

this.

I liked how it turned out. The big fleur de lis I had imagined bigger with less of the whole showing, but I thought it still looked good enough.

and this one became...

this.

Same as the last one. Converted it into a jumper, added a ruffle, and a design of some sort. I tried to get a close up of the design in the bottom right corner, but my camera has really bad exposure. The above pic is even edited.

Nani didn't have a black shirt to match this so I used one of my old t-shirts and made it her size and added elastic on the sleeves to make a gathered ruffle look.
