No monsters here, but since we're going trick-or-treating in a couple of hours, Monster Mash is on my mind. I do have a mish-mash of stuff to share, though.
First is the XL girls' shirt I pared down into a dress for my 7-year-old
Sorry for the lack of "before" pictures; it was just such a simple and obvious refashion that I totally forgot. I literally bought it off the clearance rack at Target, brought it home, and serged one seam, starting at the edge of the arm and running down the side. That's it. The length was perfect as-is, so I left it. I love the rainbow colors of it.
Second one is a yard sale dress (25 cents, I think) from last spring. It used to have a cracked pleather belt and some weird velvet trim on it, which I discarded right away. I just sewed on some grosgrain ribbon for a belt, and made a corsage out of some serged t-shirt scraps and a blue button:
Now it's a perfect little schoolgirl plaid dress!
I also made some banners from my scrap bin and and upcycled wool blanket:
