For #MMM2019 Day 5, I'm ticking all the boxes! Refashioning a previous make. Putting my umpteenth Morris blazer to good use, AND rocking an awesome Roo and Bentie MADE t-shirt!

| I made this dress a couple of years ago when I first really started sewing. It wasn't constructed terribly well. Something was always 'off' about the back AND I made it from quilting cotton, so it was a bit stiff. Despite getting compliments on it when I wore it, I didn't reach for it very often. So ~ I decided it would make a great little play skirt. I whacked it in half. Attached a contoured waist band from a pattern I made for myself (resource and story of its creation here). BAM!!! |

| Perfection!! I have lots of tops and sweaters that I can pair it with, but I love it with this amazing Tee Roo and B made me for my 50th Birthday! |

| I love my outfit, my amazing supportive peeps, and my crazy photog!!! |
Be a happy, lucky bug!! But invest in a little insurance and..
