I had this knit maxi skirt that I got way back when I was pregnant with Riley. That was roughly five years ago. It's been stuffed in my closet, storage bins, and a few other places for-- pretty much-- the past four years. I ran across it the other day and slipped it on. Sure, it was comfy, but I looked awful. And a closer inspection revealed a few stains.
Clearly, it was a perfect volunteer for the upcycle chopping block! I originally thought I wanted to make a maxi dress for Noelle, but then I thought about how she loves crawling on the floor like a dog. So, instead, I went for semi-long and plenty roomy. It's a great playdress for her.
It needed a little oomph, so I appliqued a flower in hot pink and teal. I used my Go! Fabric Cutter. Holy cow, that thing makes my life easier!
I love a good upcycle!
P.S. If you read this far, I'll let you in on a little secret. I have another giveaway coming up soon, and it's awesome!! Keep your eyes peeled!
Hi Heather! Just saw your comment on my blog and wow! They really do look a lot alike (and they are both adorable :)
