This was a dress that I had started making maybe 2 years ago? For whatever reason, I quit it, and left it in my fabric stash. Easy enough to turn it into a skirt by adding the coordinating fabric at the bottom and a tie in addition to the elastic at the top.
Outgrown red pants+ plaid fabric from my mom's basement.
"Pillowcase" style dress made using a piece of a large scarf from Target 2 (maybe 3) summers ago.

This is the dress from earlier, now on my sleepy-faced, crazy-haired morning princess. It was a chilly day, so for school we paired it with a cute shrug sweater from, wait for it, Target (you're not surprised, are you?)

"Upcycled" clothes

I've recently become fascinated by upcycled clothing ideas. What could be better?

• Frugal? Check!
• Creative? Check!
• Useful? Check!
• (and most importantly) Tangible? Check! (How amazing is it to have something tangible at the end of the day, something that you created, that wasn't there in the morning?)

I'm still learning, but thought I'd share my experiments with you
;)

First is an outgrown pair of pants and a top.
Combined together= a pretty cute new skirt. It's not perfect, but hey, it was my first attempt.

Project #2- Tank top + a random piece of fabric from my "stash". Not bad, Princess M loves it!
