And no I am not pregnant! This was a freecycled dress that I was originally going to toss, but then I looked at it, and felt bad for it, and since we all saw this today on Facebook, and it’s all true, here is today’s refashion!
Here is the dress:
Adding insult to injury, the straps were originally tied together with a hair tie (? seriously ?)
But it’s a maternity dress alright! See?
I cut off the straps, and the top part, above the folds:
Took it in the back:
Rearranged the straps:
And …
Much better! I was also excited to find a use for that belt I thrifted at the Goodwill outlet!
Also – this is a no sewing machine tutorial! I did it all by hand!
I am in my 20's, married to a wonderful man, whom I love beyond my understanding!

I love to create, and inspire others with my creations! I am a thrifter, and I can spend hours at a store looking for some outstanding piece! I sew, knit and crochet. I can basically do anything, but sing ;)
Meg, it’s what you do with that stuff is the trick! And I would love to come to Eden Prairie, I hear a certain Minnesota blogger lives there now – hint hint
