Scrappy Dress!

Make a dress from your scraps.  My daughter wanted a new summer dress so we went rummaging through by scrap bucket.  For the top I used an old pattern and scrap white fabric.  The bottom of the dress was 5/8^th of a yard.  You can sew your scraps together till and square up 5/8ths of a yard or like for this dress, I found cute fabric at a local store.  Next, my daughter searched through my old ribbon box and fell in love with this brown ribbon. I tried to convince her to go with a traditional white, thinking the brown would not match.  It turns out I was wrong and she was right.  Sometimes her stubborn streak comes in handy. 

 Lastly, I sewed the ribbon onto the front of the dress using tiny white pearls from my jewelry stash to tack it down.
