I'M BACK AT IT
and
I know some of you may be thinking "Finnnnaaaallllllyyyyy"... Am I right? 
Let me be the one to say (or type for that matter) that the feeling is mutual and IT. FEELS. GREAT. to be back. 
~
I've had two fun filled weekends of DIY-ing. 
The FIRST project, I decided to repainted my furniture and the SECOND, I upcycled a dress into a romper. 

I know you didn't visit The Color Tag for painting tips.... so I won't go into the deets about that but I will share my most recent upcylcing project 
&
 Boooyyy or, should I say, GIRRRRLLLL are you in for a treat!!!

 What You'll Need

1. A Thrifted Dress
(or a dress you have fallen out of love with) 

2. Needle and Thread or Sewing Machine

3. Shear Scissors 

4. A pair of shorts your previously own 
(I'll explain later) 


I apologize for not taking a before picture but this dress was meant for a grandma. The dress was ankle length and the exposed front slit was non existent... I'm not sure if brief description helps paint the before picture in your mind but I tried. 

In order to make the shorts, I cut below the elastic band and used a pair of previously owned shorts for the pattern. I traced the shorts, cut it a little bigger than desired because I didn't want them the bottom to be somewhat relaxed feel. 

After sewing the shorts together, I reconnected it to the elastic band. Lastly, I removed the stitching in the upper portion to add a dash of sex appeal.

Bam... the above the was created. 

I have learned from this DIY/Upcycling project to take pictures of each step. 

The next project two blazers to one... STAY TUNED
