Remember these???? I still had some Vinny fabric left over from my husband. I love me some Vinny Van Gogh! I decided to make yet another dress from this amazing fabric.  I am more than happy to sport more Starry Night outfits around town.  I just wore the Starry night dress last week to a wedding, and got lots of compliments. It was such a great feeling! My girl loves her dress too, and with the chilly weather here now, leggings and a sweater are perfect with her dress! You can check out the details of the dresses  HERE  and  HERE . I had just enough fabric to make a simple t-shirt-y shift dress. But I only had enough left over for the front. Have no fear!!! I have plain black fabric that will be a great match for the back. I traced a T-shirt and extended it down as far as the fabric  length would let me. Perfect with a sweater and boots! A great dress to wear the day before Thanksgiving break starts! I know we are ALL ready f...

I had some fabric left over from my refashion of THIS  dress. I just love it so much, and my beautiful daughter saw it again recently, and wanted a dress to match Mommy.  How could I say no?  I love me some Starry Night...I am an art teacher ya know.... I grabbed a black tank top that she already had, and I cut two rectangles about 6 inches wider than the tank top. I sewed the rectangles together (RSF) and then sewed it to the tank top.  I pinned the sides and the front and back centers of the fabric to the tank, and stretched the tank top as I stitched. I used a zig- zag stitch to make sure there would be some "give" when she pulls it over her head.  Hem the bottom, flip it right side out, and it's done! Cute and comfy! Quick and easy! She was so happy to wear it to a family BBQ! See you next time!!
