The New Dress



I had to post this because I am a little bit proud of the dress that I 'made' for Claire the other day.

Actually, I did not make it at all... I found a skirt, for a 10 year old girl, in a garage sale a while back (for a few cents...). I knew it was too big for Claire, but I liked the fabric so much that I got it anyway.

When I saw it again, it occurred to me that I could make it into a dress by adding to small shoulder straps to it.

And voila, a brand new summer dress. She loves it quite a bit and has gotten a good use of it already! I love it when I can be thrifty. When she is 10, maybe it will become a skirt again!
