This is certainly no sewing blog but here are pictures of something I designed for Melinda. I've gotten into following the seasons of Project Run&Play, and was finally brave enough to join one if their "sew alongs". The challenge? Use organic material or upcycle something into a garment. I have saved an old skirt of mine that had stains on the waistband and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I've always wanted to try shirring, so that's what I did! I didn't make the shirt, just paired the jumper with something she already had, so maybe Project Run & Play wouldn't approve. But I am pretty happy with it, regardless.

Before - Mama's Skirt  



After - Mindy's dress!
