Mu-mu Redo

One of my favorite blogs to read is New Dress A Day.  Every day she posts about a vintage dress she's found (usually a dress, sometimes something else) and changes it into something new.  She makes a lot into tops.  I discovered her about 100 days into her project, which is supposed to last a year.  I spent about 3 days reading all the blogs back to the beginning.  You could say I was hooked.

Inspired by her efforts, I dug out a mu-mu my Granny sent me awhile ago.  I cut it in two, making it into a top for me (after also adjusting the sleeves), and used the excess material from the sleeves and skirt to make a top for Emily.  Here are the results:

Emily's turned out a little big on her.  I think she might be able to wear it for year.

Okay, so you can't really see mine.  But it looks like Emily's.  Except the sleeves are more fitted.
