Back in the saddle again!

So, its been a while since I posted. Ive been talking to folks on the internwebs, learning about fitting, and planning a spring wardrobe, among other things...

but, lest you think I've stopped sewing altogether, I did finish a refashion project, as my first completed sping pallete challenge garment- inspired by this tutorial via Talk to the Trees, I managed to make a dress is not 20 minutes, but 6 HOURS. Yes, it took me all day to gather a long rectangle into a skirt. (the threads kept breaking, I decided to add a waistband after the fact, I decided it needed a zipper after the fact, the fabric was to heavy and I took out half of it, you know, that kind of thing....) but I did manage to resurrect an old tank top from the giveaway pile:


and use some deep stash in the process!

Here it is, below the cut up tank top:



And voila!



With self tie belt:


Spring has sprung!
