Girl's Dress from Fleece Pullover


Fall is finally here!  Which means that many of us refashionistas in the Northern Hemisphere need to start working on warmer clothes. This project is an oldie-but-goodie for me.

I had an old lightweight fleece pullover that didn't fit me anymore.  Fleece is an awesome fabric to work with because the ends don't fray.  And lightweight fleece is even awesomer because it is easy to sew with a machine.  Plus, upcycling an old piece of clothing is awesomest because half of the work is already done for you!



I decided to make the back of the fleece into the front of the dress. I thought it created an interesting neckline with the collar folded down.

You can check out the whole tutorial on my blog.
