DIY Madness (Or The Day I Became The World's Best Tablecloth)

Hello there lovelies!

Contrary to the appearance of that first photo, this post is not announcing that I have developed a drug addiction. Stop panicking, I just look like that when I'm being normal. No, no, I've been a bad DIYer and haven't shown you anything that I've made in a very long time. Well, this weekend I made two dresses. Peruse away!

I didn't actually make this dress - it was in my pile of "refashion and you can keep it" clothes. So I used an idea that I'd put on hold for ages (courtesy of a kick-ass book called DIY Fashion), and put those thrifted doilies to good use. If there was a best possible way to look like a tablecloth, then this is it. I smell a new favourite Winter dress.

I made this one from scratch, using Max California's Bow-Back Tee tute as inspiration. I followed all the same steps, except I traced on of my well-fitting singlet dresses instead of a t-shirt.

Best thing about this DIY: it saved me $29.95. I've been lusting over a bow-back dress from work, and said that I could buy it if I couldn't make a good one myself. TAKE THAT RECKLESS SPENDING. What have you been making (or lusting after) lately?

Until next time, xo.
