Boden dress hack




I made this dress for Talia. It's similar to a dress I made way back when but without the twirly component. This is a total Boden hack-- see picture below. That dress is $44, mine is about $12 plus two hours time. I used a t-shirt top from Target and some light cord fabric from Joann's. The only problem is that Talia is so picky about what she wears that I have to buy everything super big so it doesn't "bother" her. The T-shirt is a medium from Target so the arms are going to be waaaaaaaaay long but she doesn't seem to care about that. I really did think I would have so much more time to blog and sew since the kids started school but that doesn't seem to be the case just yet. Life should slow down a little soon (I hope). More to come...

Nice job! Question: The last time I was at Joanne's I wasn't too thrilled with the clothing fabric selections, do you ever use fabric from any other sections? Do they add more or change their selection frequently?

I definitely go to all the sections. I would say I mostly get my fabric (for all projects) from what they consider the "quilting" section in the back. I don't really know how to sew with anything but woven cotton or cotton blend. (and flannel and polarfleece I guess).
