Found this cute, Vintage, red, Polka Dot dress at a Garage sale last summer. It STUNK so I only had to pay 50 cents for it...score. I took it home, scrubbed and scrubbed it and it still stunk so after a good sniffing I realize it was the elastic...

apparently as elastic ages it starts to smell like cat pee...Lovely.

The halter tie was originally a bow but I decided it would be way cuter with I had the button detail...absolutely love the dress...

I loved the dress so much that I had to make another one...when I replaced the elastic on the Polka-Dot dress I traced a pattern from it to make this....
Very summery and fun....
My Aunt gave me the material, she found it at Goodwill!

Though, I do have to say that my favorite part our my shoes...Payless Shoe Source the perfect shade of yellow and only $4.00!

My husband ripped his (Favorite) pair of shorts in a spot that was un-fixable. I didn't want to just throw them a way and waste the cute material, so I though long and hard....and this is what I came up with.

I cut the leg off the shorts and cut it until the sides were even.
Then I sewed it all together and added some elastic...
Whipped up a cute shirt and a flower and now my daughter has a new summer outfit...at no cost. I had the navy material in my stash (I knew there is a good reason for all my fabric collecting!).

I would of taken her outside to get some better pictures...but she was in no mood for that...now time for her nap!
