A Scrappy Christmas Dress

  Hello Readers. It is Dressember 2024. I am wearing and refashioning dresses all month to participate in this fund raiser. This organization works to help the victims of human trafficking. Currently there are an estimated 27million victims around the world. Most of these victims are women and girls. That is why we wear dresses all month, to raise awareness of this issue. I will be wearing and refashioning dresses all month. Visit their website to learn more.

Let's make a dress from some scraps.

 
Before and after. 

These wonderful over-alls were wide and very stretchy. That is how this dress was possible at all. 
 
I mean it was s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y.
 
I cut the bottom of the legs for my last project. 

I put the pant legs together with the right sides facing each other. 

I sewed them together. The Christmas design on the fabric is in all different directions so I did not need to make sure it was right side up. 

I basically made a stretchy tube dress. This is going to be tight and strapless.

It matched my coat dress. That would give some extra warmth on a cold winter night. Thanks for reading along, now go make something fun for yourself.
