Anyway, I started a new teacher blog that I will hopefully keep up with since it serves and actual purpose. Check it out!

Refashioned Dress/Shirt
So I've been dying to recycle an old piece of clothing into something new for awhile now. I see all these amazing pics on Pinterest and of course think "I can do that!"
I had a dress that my Mommy gave me that is such a pretty color and so cute on the hanger but unfortunately it and my hips did not get along. So I decided to turn it into a shirt or two.
Original

The quality of this picture is awful and I'm new to Picnik so it's not a great adjustment either. Anyway my idea had been to move the ruffles from the bottom up and make it a ruffly shirt. So I cut the ruffles off the bottom VERY CAREFULLY which if you know my patience level then you know that was very hard for me to do! :)

Unfortunately once I got it cut apart and tested it the way I wanted to do it it didn't look as nice as I thought it would. So for now I ended up with this...

If anybody has any ideas what I can do with the ruffle part let me know!
