My design plans changed directions about six times today. I was getting so frustrated. But I grabbed this dress I'd made in high school in the 70's. During that time, patterns that you could wrap and tie in many ways were all the rage. This was a combo dress/ wrap skirt. It's polyester and I swear that stuff never dies. But it's so slippery I never wore it much. It's kicked around here for years. I've doubled in size so the thing didn't even go around me anymore.
So today I grabbed it and sewed one single seam and in minutes converted it into a flirty little sundress. Hop over to the gallery and see the photo.
I also embellished my sandals with silver metal hearts.
I topped off the outfit with a ribbon headband I'd woven so long ago, I don't even remember the technique anymore. I made the necklace also out of copper chain and wire.
Once I got done being frustrated I had a lot of fun.
It got me to wondering how many clothes could be easily mended but we either can't figure out how to fix them, or we are just too busy to do it, or we lack motivation.
