I love brown! This awesome figured black and brown shirt is a thrift purchase from a long time ago. It is the perfect shade of brown. I wore it several times, but was not satisfied with its length. I like a top to cover my "plumber area" when sitting. So I decided it was time to do a transformation!
I chose T-shirt colors that matched colors in the feature shirt.....
.......and began to cut........
.....plan.......piece together......plan.......and cut more.....
......and pin ......and pin ........and pin..........
This is the back. More pinning, piecing, and planning.
Now for some artistic additions. The edge of these triangles have been surged to match the stitching in the feature shirt.
...adding another triangle on the top......a brown one on the bottom.......a few carefully placed triangles on the back....and a triangle shaped pocket. Pin, pin, pin.
The bottom of the dress is edged with the hem cut from the black t-shirts. It will give the dress some body and flare.
Finished! Buttons have been added to the front and back. I am especially pleased with the buttons on the pocket!
Now,
to enjoy the new creation!!!

My girl's day begins with a glass of wine with a great host! Excellent conversation, a couple more cocktails, and a comfortable new dress. Perfect!
To finish the day....... an excellent meal at La Bodega with another great friend. Catching up and reconnecting, the heart of friendship.
