Ombré hair and sewing dresses!

Finally went and got the Ombre touched up...3 months later.  Oh the  things we go through as women for beauty (i.e. looking like I could get some pretty good stations on an oldschool TV Antenna!)

I figured out my sewing machine and what was going wrong, I am a dummy and didn't have the bobbin threaded correctly.  Now it's working like magic! :) So I took 2 old dresses and gave them new life with the help of this tutorial from A Small Snippet

This was a maxi dress that had shrunk way too short, and a tank that just wasn't fitting right anymore.

This was a little sundress with a tube top the elastic was all worn out in. I absolutely loved the print on here and held onto it knowing someday I could save it.  Another tank top that wasn't fitting so well for the top.
They both actually came out really good, I will try to get some pictures with them on sometime this weekend as laying flat gives them no justice.  I plan to make a few more dresses in this style, it was just so easy and each one took about an hour or less. A girl can never have enough strappy short dresses, especially in Florida.  Hello cover-ups! :)
