Remember my last Alma Blouse?
I had scraps left over...
Anyone who knows me knows I can't let any scraps go to waste.
A few years ago I purchased an unadorned denim dress for myself off the dollar rack at a thrift store with the intention of embroidering it.
(As you will see, I never got around to embroidering on it.)
It was a nice denim dress from The Gap - perfect condition - ONE DOLLAR!
I have since outgrown it, and passed it to my daughter.
Before passing it down I decided to make a few changes.
My first change was making it into a shirt instead of a dress.
Easy enough.
Using the scraps left over from my Alma blouse, I dressed it up a bit.
I added fabric to the collar...
the sleeves...
and the hem.
Here it is complete and ready to pass down to Miss Polly.
I think got my dollars worth.
Whatcha think?

Great work! That was a great idea! I, too, have a denim dress that I want to wear and I think those fabric additions would be perfect.
So what will you do with the denim you cut off?
That is ADORABLE! You got more than a $1 worth :) How did you do the collar?
Adorable...love this! You really know how to work those scraps!
very cute! Looks a lot better than plain denim!
Save success! Love the revamp. Extra special and fun now!
What a great idea. I love the little touches of colour.
