Upcycled Dress Save – Refashion

Hello from soggy Colorado, Our state has been getting a lot of rain here for the last couple of weeks. I am doing my best to appreciate the upside of getting all this moisture. For example, I do not need to water my plants or my grass very much. Everything is very green during this time of year. Colorado is a pretty dry state so we need all the rain and snow that we can get. But still, I am eagerly awaiting the sunshine. We are pretty spoiled in this state as far as sunshine goes. There are mostly sunny days. But maybe that makes us or me anyway more prone to miss the sun when it is gone. However, sunny days are just around the corner. Soon I will be lamenting my wilting and thirsty foliage because, even though I like to think of myself as a “glass-half-full-person.” I do still notice the empty half, way too often.

Unfortunately, my wardrobe isn’t what anyone would consider fashionable. See what I mean there is that “glass-half-empty” attitude showing. But on the “glass-half-full side,” there is plenty of opportunity for improvement. 🙂 So Let’s Begin For today’s project I selected a knit dress. It is sort of floppy and sloppy and really comfortable.
