Clothing Upcycle
By Moriah on May 21st, 2010
I had this top I found at Tar-jay a few years ago, and although cute, the square neckline was always too awkward with straps (ahem). And wearing a tank under it just looked awkward.
I nearly tossed it onto my giveaway pile but then realized I could make a cute top out of if for my girls. It fits both Madeline and Adelaide and probably would fit the baby as a dress.
I basically cut off the bodice, sewed a casing (with a ruffle!) and fed elastic through it, and then tacked in some ribbons. It probably took a half an hour. Now I’m finding myself looking around for other things to upcycle!

Did I mention your sewing projects make me sick? jk This was a great idea – and adorable!!!
That is sooo cute.
I sure admire your sewing skilz and wish I had some myself!
LOVE. But of course I do, it’s a refashion that is under 30 minutes and adorable :) Great job!
You’re amazing! Can I give you some things to upcycle? :-)
Hey Moriah,
Very cute! I’ve been looking through my stuff to see what I can upcycle for Maddie. I have this bridesmaids dress and one of these days I’ll find something to use it for.
Anyway… have you seen all the cute shirred dresses lately? I finally sat down and learned how. It’s sooo easy.
Super cute….as always ;o)
BRILLIANT!
I bought a new top for our anniversary trip (a BIG splurge too) and John accidentally put it in the DRYER. I was pretty upset because it no longer fits me. (Angry is probably a better word choice than upset, but anyway…) Wondering if I can “upcycle” it into something for the girls. Hmmmmmm….
