I have this great project inspiration that requires gray t-shirt material. I had figured that I would need 2 men’s t-shirts, but just hadn’t gotten around to getting them.
When I was out shopping this week, (after my 5 week break…yay me!) I found this H&M dress for $4.
As you can tell, it’s PLENTY of material.
Even though it is my size, there is seriously enough room for a couple of me to get in.
But, I was seeing some potential
And I decided to wear it before slaughtering it.
Gray thread, a needle and 5 minutes, and this massive dress was a cute top.
So easy, a caveman could do it.
I forgot to take pics of the actual process, but all I did was bunch up the sides to the length I wanted, and hand stitch on the inside.
Get a good look at it now, because hopefully by this time next week, it will be in pieces!
Outfit Deets:
Top/Dress – H&M
Liquid Leggings – Walmart
Heels – Steve and Barry’s
Necklace – No clue
So, my challenge to you is, get something out of your closet that you don’t wear, and play with it. You may have a new fav right in your closet!
Cuuuuutte! Look at you wearing your crafty pants, man! love it 🙂
awww look at you!!! love it!
I Love what you did to the shirt your so crafty…
Super cute!!
oh my GOSH!!! you are amazing! totally inspiring to finally learn to use my sewing machine i've had for almost a year and never even touched!!! even though you hand sewed this i think i could do some pretty fun things if i learned the art…seriously AWESOME!
So cute. I love it.
I really like what you did to it! I would have never thought to do that.
I gotta say… the before picture makes you look like an Olsen twin… yaknow, adorable hobo? Or maybe it's "trying to hide how anorexic you are". Either way, it's super cute!
hey that is cute!!! I am always so scared to cut up my clothes & i know how to sew!!! hmmmm…. what can i do!!?? Have a great weekend!
No friggin way! Your one gifted lady! You should see my cut up a dress!!!!!!!!!! ha ha!!
This is soo cute! How did you do the belt around the waste?
Cute! I actually think it also looked cute on you when it was still "massive". 🙂

Great look! And so crafty, I'm so impressed!! I can't even sew a button. Maybe someday I'll learn! 🙂 Looks fabulous girl!
OMG, Genius Molly!
I just have no talent with stuff like that. =(

So cute, Molly! Where did the tie about your waist come from? Did you add that part to?
Check you out!! That is so awesome! Can't wait to see that project you are working on!
You definitely made it way cuter. And you told me that you had no sewing skills. Girl, you are full of surprises!!!

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER cute! I love this.
I came over to your blog for the first time today, and I really enjoyed it! ESPECIALLY the fashion tips. I have NO fashion sense and being a SAHM have little money to spend, so I really love your Fashion Fridays. Thanks for the wonderful posts, I went back and read all your Fridays posts from last year! Cooper is adorable, and I agree with you on Taye and Jesse:)
