Spring Polk-a-Dot Refash

 Pretty pattern but very unflattering on me. 

I removed the sleeves and those faux pockets! No sense in having faux pockets!

By removing the faux pockets I was left with this opening on each side. I quickly stitched that back together and it was good as new!

These adorable little green apple buttons were on the cuffs of the sleeves. I'm reusing these for sure!

I took in the sides by 1 1/2 inches.

Oh look at that! Found a place for those apple buttons! Then I added some green bias tape to sort of break up the dizzy polk-a-dot pattern.

I removed 4 1/2 inches from the bottom.

Pinned my new hem.

Whatever shall I do with this scrap?

Make a sash of course!

Ready for spring!

I wore my new dress to Bunny Brunch and Bowl and the Grosse Pointe Yacht club which my boss and her family were so nice to invite us to!

I was a little but nervous for the bowling part because I'm the type of bowler that would get a gutter ball when bumper bowling. Yes I am that awful of a bowler!

What the what!? 2 strikes in a row!? I was on FIRE!  

I actually won a game! This was a total miracle because like I said I am the world's worst bowler! Looks like my Irish luck is paying off! 
Happy Refashioning!!!
