I'm back! My first refashion!

Hey everyone it is LaLaLauren!
Many of you know me as one of the editors here on Refashion Co-Op. Some have even gotten wonderful emails from me ;) I am finally back from the Refashion Grave! A lot has happened in the past few months that hindered my refashioning: 1-went to many meetings for work 2- on top of that wrote a grant in 1 week, which I just learned probably won't make funding 3- found out I need to be gluten free to feel good 4- sliced my left pointer finger severly with a knife trying to cook a nice gluten free meal. #4 was the biggest hinderance, I was unable to use that finger for a while, especially sewing. When it was semi-useful I was really slow b/c well it was incredibly painful. Typing has been fun!

I have recently gotten back into my craft room for my sanity but also b/c I need to downsize... because I am moving to Washington, D.C. in October to start a new job! Wahoo! I am so excited but I need to go through my refashion pile. It is so much easier to justify to my boyfriend to take clothing I can wear now, then something I have to fix when I move and can't wear at the moment. Now the push to finish projects!!! I have started a 60 days to DC blogging session on my blog to force encourage myself to finish up projects here in the house! This is my first refashion of the 60 days (we are barely at a week and I shake my head wondering what was in my water when I came up with this idea).

I don't have a before picture. I know shame on me b/c I am an editor. Basically, I took a curtain from my stash of fabric and used the Anthro Knock Off Dress pattern from iCandy handmade to make me a fun, bright dress.

What is great about using a curtain is it had its own lining and thus not see through. I paired with a fun belt and my favorite boots and I was ready to hit the farmers market.

There is a bit more about this refashion here but I will admit just a little bit more. Here's to more refashions and sewing now that my finger is healed. And to 60 days to DC of blogging! I am really excited to see what thrifting DC has in store!

Cheers,
LaLaLauren
