This challenge TERRIFIED me. I had NO IDEA what to make! When I walked into Goodwill and saw this shirt, I knew I would be ok.
Yes it was boxy and boring, but I just knew that I could cut it into something great! Next I found a prairie dress. YIKES-so not my style!!!
Cut away the boxy shape |
Add accent ribbon at the waist |
But...snip, snip, snip within an hour she was completely transformed!!!
Transformed! |
I loved the dress, but wasn't sure she had everything she needed, so I took her on a test run to Times
Square!!
Field trip time! (NYC Time Square) |
She was a big hit!!!! |
See the other Week 1 looks here!

Very pretty and flattering.
I love prairie dresses. I'm a big fan of florals, and they usually have *tons* of fabric to work with. You did a great job with this one! Good luck in the competition!

That ribbon at the waist is very effective at bringing the stripes and florals together; it's amazing how a small thing can finish the dress so effectively. Good eye!
Loving your work!! Grear combo! :)
THanks all! Everything about this competition scares me, but it's been so much fun!
It turned out lovely.... oh, and I love the ribbon trim
that you used to finish it off. Looks great on you!
