I altered a friends skirt and dress, so that the items no longer just live in her wardrobe, but get to come out and play once in a while. The blue dress was too short, so I added a black pleather trim to the bottom of it. The skirt was too large so I cut some inches off the side. My friend was very happy with the results!

I was given this piece of material at my local carboot because the owner thought it was a useless piece of scrap.. Little did he know, nothing is useless and I love a challenge... 1) I traced around a vest top 2) I sewed the sides together, and hemed the collar and arms 3) I cut a long strip of fabric, pleated it and sewed it to the bottom of the vest top There you have it!!!
I bought this large Jumper from a carboot sale and had fun making it into a dress.
