One reason to keep your old clothes....

Well this is just one of many. I have this cotton polkadot dress which is lovely but too big. So just before I put it inot my bag for the thrift shop and idea blings into my mind & yep it makes that "bling" sound when it does!!I rummage through my vintage sheet stash to find one of my favourites - Raggedy Anne - did you love her as much as I did when you were a little girl?
Out come the scissors & onto the sewing machine & 30 minutes later - yep it was that easy - this little apron skirt is made. I am sorry I can't share the pattern as I didn't use one - I just freehanded it!! Thankfully it turned out.

Now to find some more dresses that no longer fit......
