Dotty Upcycling

On Saturday, I spent some sisterly time with this beauty crafting up a storm at the Goodwill Boutique store in the West Village. It was such a nice time! David, who I met through BurdaStyle, hosted the upcycling event. Using fabric paint and pencils I enhanced not one, but two projects! The tees were provided for us and I brought the pants along with me. I finally got around taking some pictures of them both, today.

I LOVE how they came out!! I see so many dot print refashions in the future. Look at what David did with his project. I've already thrifted the perfect pink oxford to try this with, next! It's the perfect project for pants like these, that are a little boring and a little too big. This bit of paint gives them new life!

The top and jeans both look great! This is one of those that turns out to be more than the sum of its parts- very nice!
