True colors...

I had this 2 tops from the last summer and I got pretty bored of them :)
So for this summer I'll do a bit of re-style. :)
Just cut and remove the straps from the first top ( I'm gonna use them for something else soon...)


Sew the "skirt" part with the other top...
... and Voila! Colorful summer dress!



Just add a hair clip for decoration. I actually have loads of them so every time I wear the dress I can add a different flower.



Thanks for stopping by! See you soon! :)

Hi Nina,
Welcome to the blogosphere! Love the colors in this project. Well done!
Nina is my favorite name b/c that was my grandma's name and I named my daughter Nina :)

Great idea and great colors--thanks for sharing. What kind of stitch did you use to sew the pieces together? What did you do to the raw edges?

Thank you, Susan! I've never used a sewing machine in my life, simply because I don't know how to work on one. :) Everything I make is with hand stitches. For the raw edges I just hemmed the fabric and then just stitched with the other top together.
