Slouchy Dolman

Hey guys, I’m back today to share my week two sew a long look for Project Run and Play. This week the challenge is “Hand-Me-Downs.” Basically, take an existing item of clothing and up-cycle it into something cute for your kiddo. I decided to do something simple this week. It’s still on average around 100 degrees here, but I have this cute metallic sweater from Forever 21 from like 3 years ago that I haven’t worn in forever. I used it to make a slouchy dolman sleeve sweater dress. I paired it with these awesome booties, wish i had them in my size. Perfect for when it starts to get chilly around here, which lets face it for Phoenix that feels like never! lol I felt pretty crazy putting her in it for pictures. We made our shoot snappy so she wouldn’t melt. But anyway, It was actually pretty simple to make. The most challenging part was getting the neckline the perfect size and she still has some room to grow, which is perfect. I actually had a few other ideas for some other old clothes I had, let’s just say up-cycling was pretty much done by trial and error for me. A few pieces didn’t make it through the process! ha Learning experience for sure. That’s pretty much it this week. Definitely check back in next week to hear about my “Denim” look for week three! eek! πŸ™‚
