Overall Oops

 Hello Readers. I thought I had a great idea. I thought I could turn this dress into loose over-sized overalls. Mistakes were made. And my plan fell apart. Life is like that sometimes.

Oops!

I really thought this was going to be an easy refashion project. I was really wrong. 
 
I folded the dress in half and cut out the middle to make the legs of my new overalls.
 
I cut the dress so that there were 2 legs. This was going to be very big and so baggy that I couldn't possibly mess this up. But everyone makes mistakes and I was about to be humbled.
 
But I cut the body much too short. Even with the adjustable straps, I couldn't get my upper body into this. It was a disaster.
 
Could I cut the top off and make lounge pants?
 
No. No, I could not. This was not a good sewing day for me. Let's just quit now. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.

    Just found your blog looking for inspiration to refashion some of my clothes. I super appreciate you posting a fail in addition to your clever creations - I have definitely had more fails than wins so far! But everything is a learning experience, right?

    I really appreciate you sharing your mistakes with us. When something I try comes out all wrong it's nice to know I'm not alone! I really love your blog. It's my favorite refashioning blog.
