here's my black shirt that i've converted into another dress. i got really lazy with the hemming this time & so i just overlocked the edges & then sewed some black ribbon over the top to cover the stitching, worked a treat & solves my 'i hate hemming' issue.
again, i just cut off the sleeves, cut the length so it fell just under my bust & unstitched the side underarm seam. i created a basic skirt with a slight gather at the front and back, put in the side zipper then used the original sleeves as a template to create to some new ones (i made them a little bigger than the original sleeves so that i could gather them up on the shoulder so that they're cute & puffy).
the black & white fabric used was left over from a skirt i had made previously, therefore this has turned out to be a very cheap work dress.
i could easily keep making these but i must keep focused, there are many other projects to complete.
