MakeOver Monday - A Pant to Frock Challenge

'MakeOver Monday' 
... sharing how I cut up & REinvent items from my wardrobe 
in the hope you'll pick up scissors & start cutting up yours!

You know how it goes...

three people in a room swapping life stories 

when one mentions how important it is to challenge yourself

and someone else jumps in suggesting a 

Pants to Frock REinventing Challenge would be a good idea

and before you know it

everyone's getting excited about having a breakfast catch-up in a months time 

to check out each others creations.

It took me a little while to wrap my head around how best to tackle the challenge 
however with a new found love for linen 

I armed myself with two op shop sourced linen pillowcases

a pair of linen pants

and a scrap of vintage floral cotton [an after thought]

and created a Pearl Frock

complete with pockets

which I wore with pride
to catch-up with Alex & Denise at our breaky rendevous
for show & tell

where Denise shared her once stretchy floral paisley printed as new op shop sourced jeans
 transformed into a sexy sleeveless shift complete with pocket

and Alex had stitched her embroidered linen pants into a combined top/bolero attached to a billowing cotton skirt for a very bohemian look.

It was so much fun 
 we're already talking next time.
