When I lived in Georgia back in 2012, I went on a spring break trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee, with some of my friends. We crammed together in a tiny hotel room, and I remember sleeping on the floor with some blankets because we were too many to all fit in the beds.. Crazy teenagers!
Anyhow, One of the days I went exploring the north side of the river, and found some great little shops and restaurants. I also found a dress that cost a quite a lot of money, but was soooo comfortable I wore it til it almost fell apart. I haven't had the heart to throw it out, so it's been living in a suitcase with projects and fabrics for the past three years.
As I made my midsummers dress, I realized I could renew this old loved dress to a flowy top with the help of some gorgeous blue fabric.
So I cut out strips of the new blue fabric, hemmed them and stitched them to the cut off dress. And all of a sudden I had this flowy, wonderful top made out of my old favorite dress!
I love remaking old items into new ones, it makes me feel so happy since the fabric has been through so much and now I am able to wear it and love it again.
