Transform: Summer dress–> Apron

Do you have any particular shop you like to shop at?
I have a bunch. And ANTHROPOLOGIE is one of my favorites.
Their designs are so unique and pretty. Every time I go into their shop, I easily spend an hour or two to check all of their merchandise.
Of course I love their clothes, but I also adore their aprons.

It is very inspiring and would be fun to cook, wearing it.

Today I was cleaning the clutter out of my closet, and found a summer dress which has several holes. I guess I washed it in the washing machine many times, and it got holes.
That gave me an idea: “Why don’t I transform this dress into an apron?”
And here’s how it looks.

The bottom part was a summer dress originally.
I added the top on it with some vintage lace.

I wish I could have better matching fabric for the bottom… but this bird printed fabric was all I had that was close to the color of the bottom.

Tonight I started to cook, wearing this, and somehow it made me more motivated for cooking. Maybe my husband will be happier than I, because of this apron

Make over: Cardigan

Not only making something new from the scratch is the beauty of crafting.
Making over the old stuff of yours and refresh it is also beautiful! That helps saving our environment, too!
Today I would like to introduce one of my make over project.
Originally this cardigan was plain just regular pink V neck cardigan.

It was comfortable one to wear, but unfortunately I got a small hole…

Throwing away my favorite cardigan because of this tiny hole was something wrong to me and I couldn’t do it.
So I put vintage lace on top of it to cover a hole.

Some close shot of what I added.

This make over save my cardigan, save earth and save my money to buy new one!
Killing 3 birds by one stone!!!!
