Dress, and Wreath from Scraps

Here is an infinity dress I made years ago and only wore a couple times. (I got the idea to add a bodice from someone else.) The only problem with the dress was that the fabric I chose was 100% cotton interlock and was heavy, so that by the time I was done wrapping two pieces that were 6 feet or whatever long around myself, it felt hard to move around.  I couldn't wait to get it off.

 So I redid the top using a pattern.  I had to piece it together since those long strips weren't wide enough to make the new bodice pieces. I think it has a 40's look to it.

 

 

Then here is a project I've been planning on doing for two years now.  I cut down all my boxy oversized T-shirts and turned them into girl shirts, and just loved the colors of the scraps when they were all on the floor. 

 



So I cut them into more or less regular strips, ran a gathering thread down the center, and hot glued them to a wreath.  It was actually pretty time consuming, but I'm happy with the results.
