My friend gave me a dress his wife was going to donate. I love the fabric, so I am going to redesign the dress. I’ve decided to take it in, shorten the length, and then will layer two gathered hems to the bottom of the dress. This should be fun!

Hello all! Today we have a really quick and easy dress to shirt refashion. It should be straight forward. The only thing of concern is that I am refashioning a sweater dress. Fingers crossed everything doesn’t unravel!
So, I’m a mom and I’m older. As such, I tend to not wear styles as youthful as I once did. Especially since the only places I’m going to these days are the office, the kids’ school and daycare, and the grocery store. (Thank you pandemic!)
I have this sweater dress that I used to love to wear. However, the butt area is a bit too form fitting and short for me now. I’m self-conscious wearing it so I just don’t wear it anymore.

My one year old is exploring the wonderful world of food. Not only does he enjoy eating the food, but he likes to squish it in his fingers, run it through his hair, fling it from his spork, push it off his tray, and occasionally, put it behind his back. Needless to say, mealtime is a very messy though enjoyable experience.
My son has a ton of bibs from when he was younger, but they are really meant for babies and don’t really stop the food from covering his clothes. So I thought, DIY bibs, or more specifically, DIY toddler bibs! We recently upgraded our towels so I decided to upcycle an old towel into a toddler bib just the right size for my little man.

I recently took an old sweater, cut it up, and repurposed it into a super cute skirt in my Upcycle Sweater to Skirt Tutorial. Today, we’re going to cut up some more of that sweater and make a fun little slouchy beanie hat perfect for the upcoming cold weather. Read on for my Upcycle Sweater into Beanie Hat Tutorial!
It’s sad to say, but summer is ending and the cold weather is coming! We’ve been doing a little cleaning around here and I’ve been getting rid of a bunch of old clothes. I pulled out this old pink sweater for the donation pile, when I realized it would make a really cute sweater skirt perfect for the early fall weather. I’ve been really digging skirts lately since my Perfect Pencil Skirt I made it a little while back. Read on for my upcycle sweater into skirt tutorial!
