Outfit #2

Today we picked this navy dress.

First I cut off the sleeves, cut down the body of the dress and then sewed it back together.

I also sewed the side ties together to make a belt.

 Cut and hemmed the dress.

 I made the flower hair tie from the excess lining.

 Tomorrow, I'm going to make a matching hand bag from the left over material.

 Cheeky monkey :)

Welcome to Mummy's dress.

What is Mummy's dress about?
Turning my old unwanted clothes into outfits for my girls.

It all started during the school holidays.....
I was cleaning out my wardrobe. 
The girls kept saying 'mum, that's too pretty to throw away... Can we have it?'  So the girls spent ages playing with my old clothes.
I was also inspired by one of my favourite blogs new dress a day.

Here's our first dress makeover.
A black and white sundress....

First I cut off the ties, then used the material to make the straps for the dress and the headband.

I sewed a few darts in the back of the dress.

Voila...
One pretty sundress for Yana.

I think it looks beautiful!
