My first post and first re-fashion.

Hello all at the co-op. This is my first post and I am really happy to be joining your group. I am a bag designer and learning dressmaking, how to use patterns etc and I am loving it.

This is my second item of clothing ever and my first re-fashion item. I finished it yesterday.

I took a charity shop dress, I bought because I loved the bottom half.

And a much loved summer dress I had that no longer zipped over the hips.

This is the outcome, I love it. My blog about the dress can be found here

I am a bit stuck I had problems with the zip it came out like this

Suggestions on how to cover this would be most welcome.
Many thanks, happy sewing Vala
