Refashion: Girl's Clothing Mash Up

A top that's too short.
A dress that does not fit anymore, because the top part is too snug.


I attached the top to the bottom. Actually, it fit perfectly, so I had no issues attaching the top to the bottom.
However, my sewing machine kept seizing up! Arrghhh... a ten minute job took me much, much longer. Isn't that always the way, though? :)

I enlarged the armholes and added long sleeves using some scrappy fabric. I had to add long sleeves because I knew that my daughter would want to wear the dress in this cool weather.
It was a good call, the sleeves does seem to tie the dress together.

"New" party dress:

I wish I could do this with my clothes. Somehow, I doubt they would fit me as well. Clothes always looks good on kids, don't they?

So fun!! I have a stained jersey top of Ernie's on my sewing table- I'm trying to figure out what kind of skirt to sew on.... :)
