Bedskirt into House & Town skirt

Some Bedskirts are made of wonderful fabric.   Like this one from Westpoint Stevens- it was all denim, and only cost a few dollars at our thrift store!  This project was fun, and a bit challenging, as there were several seams to work around.   The color was perfect, and the skirt lasted my Mom a good long time. =)

Old dress, New dress

My name is Adrienne, and this is my first post over here at the Refashion Co-op!  I thought that I'd start by showing you a dress I made last year:

 Basically, I took a much loved dress of my Mom's (she made it back in 1995), cut it apart, and made myself a cute Summer dress!   I had to piece the bodice front- not ideal, but it looks fine!  =)
