Jes' NDAD Creation

Jes sent in this fabulous blue polka dotted dress and it reminded me of a piece I just thrifted myself!  I just might take cues from her to get mine in working condish!  Check it out...

Last year, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law gave me a sewing machine, and I hadn't done much with it over the course of 2012. I started running across blogs where the bloggers remade clothing, and it looked super cute!  I've been wanting to update my shabby and blah wardrobe but didn't have the spare $krilla, so this was my ticket!

I bought your book several weeks ago and LOVE it.  This dress is one that I found at Goodwill for $5.00--I'm a sucker for anything polka-dotted!

First off, I'm obsessed with those socks!  ("Black & yellow, black & yellow, black & yellow.")  Second, I'm obsessed with Jes' pose.  Great face - we're all shocked too, girl!  What will Jes do with this polka dotted masterpiece?

I removed some length and the sleeves and that was it!!

Makes me want to go on vacation...le sigh!)
