Easy Muumuu Refashion

After several complicated projects, I decided it was time for something easy. Enter this floral cotton muumuu.

Well hello there!

I liked the warm floral print and the white piping around the neck, and at $2.50ish it was definitely worth rescuing. It wasn't too billowy or too long, making it a great candidate for an "easy" project.

I started by removing the sleeves. I decided to just cut them off using shears. (No need to get fancy with the seam ripper.)

Snip, snip, snip!

Once the sleeves were off, I cleaned up the edges around the piping and finished under the arms using white single fold bias tape.

Almost done!

After that, I gave the dress a quick press, and called it a day. Easy, right?

Easy peasy!

Throw on a belt and some sandals and I have an easy breezy outfit for the weekend! Now if I could only decide what to do this weekend...
