Jess' Spring fever remix party!! @ project run n play!

there's a remix party going on over at Project run 'N' play! I took Jess' pattern and ran with it.  I know it doesn't look like her dress or even anyone else's .. but I like it.  I actually used the back bodice for the front and the front for the back.  I've been upcycling old clothes so I salvaged enough fabric to make my 4 year old a dress:  Here it is!!

fabric I used.

finished dress


My daughter is in bed so I don't have a picture of her wearing it but i'll post one as soon as I can.  I have more projects but since its after 10 on a Friday .. i'm going to go have a date night with my hubby.  good night everyone!

Olive you so much!

the olives and sentiment are from doodle pantry.  I embossed the squares with my cuttlebug, Swiss dots, divine swirls, wood grain, birds and swirls, leaves and branches and flowers embossing folders. and then a bunch of unmarked stamps I have in my collection as a background subway art sort of thing.
