Today I'd like to share a repurposed/upcycled/recycled/(*insert preferred term of the moment here*) project.
Roughly following the tutorial from Made I used an old shirt with holes in the elbows to make a dress for Eva.
It felt like I was winging it a bit to cut the basic shape of the dress, but I think it turned out pretty well. Ahem. Who am I kidding? I am completely in love with this dress!
I changed the belt style around, added a ruffle at the hem, and set off the dark colours with a hot pink bias binding around the ruffle, to tie in with the hot pink buttons at the centre of the yoyos at the neckline.
This kind of recycling is infinitely more satisfying than collecting stinky old piles of plastic milk bottles!
