Check out this easy tutorial for how to turn a dress into a skirt making an enclosed waistband! My daughter spotted this print in the goodwill bins and lit up, until I pulled it out and it was a size too small! The skirt was super full so I suspected it would fit just fine even though the sleeves were too short and the bodice had lots of stains on it. An hour of sewing later and I was right, it fits great as a skirt and will probably last a couple years! This is a beginner sewing tutorial if you have patience for working with stretchy fabric, and the same steps can easily be applied to an adu ..read more

I don’t know about you, but I am all about the leisure clothes for the past few months! I have seen several cute sweatsuits online but in keeping with trying to shop secondhand as much as possible, I decided to DIY a matching set instead!

I layered pink over top the bleach step but the sky’s the limit for creative options with this technique. This post was sponsored by JOANN, which means they supplied some of the materials and compensated me for my time, but ..read more
