Project re-vamp: Take One- Julie Andrews style

It's been a little dulling with the

day to day same old same old.

With Boo in school we have little money

to play around with on new or for that matter used items.

With the help of my new sewing machine

and a couple cheap items I have been

revamping.

Kind of like how Julie Andrews took the curtains and made the

children their, "Play clothes" in The Sound Of Music.

I also found this blog which has TONS of great ideas I want

to try for Ha Jyn and I.

Revamp Polygamist dress.

Boo said that this dress made me look like

a polygamist. So instead of finding some sister wives

I decided to cut it into two. Making the

top a bolero and lining the top and skirt with

tulle to make it puffy.

Move over Sister Wives, I'm coming through!!

This is what I call the green monster. It was

a really huge dress that I got for 2 bucks at old navy. It looked okay when I was

pregnant and I could appropriately accessorize.

Now it looks like a hot mess. So I decided to try to take

a silky tulle and make a tutu type skirt.

And now it looks like an even hotter hot mess!!

This was a free chair that we got.

I came across some paint samples I got a long time ago.

And wha-la ugly chair turns into slightly less ugly chair!

This alligator was a onesie. Ha Jyn wore it once

and than when I washed it at our apartment's craptastic

Laundromat it got a stain that would not come off.

So I cut cut the alligator out and sewed it to one of

her dresses.

My first sewing project.

Worn out jeans+ scarf = Clutch.

My magic trick.

With the help of my trusty assistant Ha Jyn,

Watch as I magically turn this shirt into a....

Skirt!!!!

Stay tuned for more!
