New Dress A Day

As I was searching for Christmas gift tutorials today, I stumbled upon an amazing blog call "New Dress a Day." It's amazing not because of the title, nor even because of the writing. It's amazing to me because of the premise of the blog. This girl spends $1 a day on a dress at the thrift store. She then turns these old (and some of them UGLY) dresses into a masterpiece. It's amazing to sort through and see what she has created from these $1 thrift store finds. I want to go out and search for $1 dresses and try this out!

Here are a few pictures of her creations and a link to her blog. Check it out!

This was made from a velvet Jessica McClintock dress with a lace front bib:

You wouldn't believe the MASSIVE dress this was made from!

AMAZING!!!

Easy T-Shirt Dress

My friend, Melody, is amazing! She is a talented seamstress and crochets the most adorable items ever, as evidenced by the picture below. (See her ETSY shop for more examples and, hey, stick around and buy something!) I don't know how she does it all and is a teacher. I wish I had her talent!


Recently, she posted the most adorable (and affordable) dress idea: The Shirt dress. She bought basic, inexpensive shirts, cut off the bottom portion, and then sewed on a dress. Voila! Check out her blog for the shirt dress how-to! Perfect for warm summer and early fall.
