I was going to take the kids to the beach this arvo,
to take photos of the girls in the summer outfits I made yesterday.... but it was too wet and cold :(

So, I went through my bag of throw away clothes and found a knit dress to upcycle...
Before.....
I cut away the white shirt.
Resized the dress and repositioned the straps.
I love knit dresses!
Miss 8 loving the rain...
Looking at these photos of Miss 8 dancing in the rain made me think of this quote....
"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass,
It's about dancing in the rain."
Happy weekend :)
Love Nikki xx

I love this outfit! So stylish!! ;)
Nikki, I saw what you get up to here through Aussie Sewers Unite! at AMB. This is an awesome idea! Your blog is amazing! I've shared your link on my own Facebook profile. Am following you now too :)
So glad you linked this up. Love that outfit. You are really talented. I am not a sewer and wish I was. Thanks so much for the comment and for joining WUW, Nikki.
That is just perfect. Love the photos and she is beautiful. www.mylifeunzipeed.blogspot.com
Oh I love love this Nikki... and you're kids are gorgeous!!
i think this is one of my MOST favorites of your upcycles! you are so very talented. btw, i found the foot pedal for my sewing machine and am so glad to have located it after almost a year of it missing. perhaps i'll discover some raw, hidden seamstress talents somewhere inside me that just need to be dusted off. ::hugs::
so cute...and the quote about that rain...love it. I used it on my blog also!!
