Back and Sewing

Oh my goodness! Hello! I know it has been just about forever since my last post, but to catch up super quickly I give you the following paragraph:

School is keeping me super busy! With Honors and AP classes in abundance, I find I have little to no free time and what little I do have I spend playing Halo with my friend Colton. Also, my Alice cosplay! Unfortunately, I didn't get to go to DragonCon because I got insanely sick and actually ended up in the hospital. So that was terrible. Thankfully I'm better now and I have a blog post for you! So, let's move on!

Yesterday I went shopping with my mother and I found this dress at Goodwill

I actually had to talk my mother into letting me buy this because she thought is was ugly. Lucky, I did because now I have a dress to completely re-do into something cute! Now, I love sewing and hemming and re-styling things, so this was a perfect match. My plan was to hem the dress to knee length and sew the arm holes to make them smaller.

And not only does this dress have crazy potential but the pattern is just great!

I started by pinning the length of the dress to where I wanted it.

Then I pinned the arm holes to make them not so gaping.

Next, I broke out the scissors and chopped off the unneeded fabric from the bottom.

And now we have a preview of our finished product!

Then to the sewing machine! Basically, I sewed the crap out of everything I pinned.

After cutting the final pieces of thread, I got my end result and posted it on LookBook!

Worth $6? I think so!
